PhD Scholarship
One full-time APAI PhD scholarship (approx. $25,000 pa tax-free),
with additional top-up sponsorship from the project partners (up to
$6,000 pa tax-free), is available for an outstanding candidate to
work within the CITYFUTURES Research Centre at UNSW, led by Professor
Bill Randolph. CITYFUTURES is dedicated to developing a better
understanding of our cities, their people, the policies that manage
their growth, and the impacts they make on our environment and economy.
The scholarship is available through an ARC Linkage Award in
collaboration with the NSW Department of Planning, the City of Sydney
and Landcom, providing an unrivalled opportunity for undertaking
research that combines academic development with the practical
experience of working alongside policy makers, practitioners and the
communities they serve.
The PhD scholarship is available to support a doctoral project that
runs in parallel and draws support from our core project that is
concerned with integrating GIS data with BIM (Building Information
Modelling) to support urban planning processes. That will be achieved
through the development of an information framework that integrates a
diverse range of urban data, making use of an urban model server
technology that is being implemented as part of the project. It is
anticipated that the candidate would frame their research around some
aspect of urban sustainability, drawing the analysis data from that
central urban information model source.
Candidates will have a 1or 2A Honours or Masters degree, and
practical experience will also be welcomed. They must be available to
commence their candidature from Session 2 2008. A strong interest in
urban sustainability is a must; and knowledge of urban information
modelling and spatial mapping is a strong advantage.
