A number of scholarships will be available for IDTC (Mathematics & Statistics) doctoral research projects for study commencing at various times. Each scholarships offers $30,000 per annum living allowance plus funding for conference attendances.
On this page you will find information on the doctoral scholarships currently available in the discipline of mathematics and/or statistics through our 5 nodes of IDTC, located at each of our universities. Scholarships listed are in the following categories:
Bio Informatics
Computer Vision
Control
Cyber Security
Financial Mathematics
Statistics
Further scholarships will be posted as they become available. If you see more than one scholarship that interests you, you should apply separately for each to the sponsoring ATN university.
Successful scholarship applicants will then need to apply for admission to the PhD program at the relevant university.
Terms and conditions of each below listed scholarship is subject to change. Always confirm details with the university providing the scholarship before applying.
This scholarship is for the following field of research: MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES - OPERATIONS RESEARCH.
This research project aims to adapt and apply techniques in quantitative
operations research, quantitative sensitivity analysis, and machine learning
to inform complex security problems.
Operations research techniques are needed to optimise risk with respect
to alternative security implementation options, constrained by hard or soft
cost criteria. The optimisation must take account of some novel model
features: a statistical determination of risk, adaptive threats and
uncertainty in the performance of security controls.
The expected stages of the project include the development of novel
techniques that are robust to uncertainties in the problem, and application
of those techniques to a real, complex security context.
The student will gain skills in control theory and decision-making under
uncertainty using quantitative techniques which are widely sought in the
public and private sectors.

This scholarship is for the following field of research: MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES - OPERATIONS RESEARCH.
Stroke is the third most common cause of death: about a quarter of stroke patients die within a month, about a third by 6 months, and a half by 1 year. It is also judged to be the sixth most common cause of reduced disability-adjusted life-years. Worldwide, stroke consumes about 2–4% of total health-care costs, and in industrialised countries stroke accounts for more than 4% of direct health-care costs
Much effort has been undertaken in recent years to understand and implement strategies to improve the eligibility of acute stroke patients for treatment with thrombolysis, including multi-factorial interventions across a number of areas in the process of stroke care.
This project will include the following activities:
1. Develop and validate a detailed discrete-event simulation model of acute
stroke patient flow through the care system....

This scholarship is for the following field of research: MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES - PHYSICAL MODELLING
Quantification of transport in porous media is a long-standing problem complicated by the inherent complexity of the pore-space geometry. As such, up-scaling methods are often used to describe macroscopic transport which often utilizes averaging over many pore volumes. However, such averaging can neglect important pore-scale phenomena which can influence macroscopic transport.
Pore-scale fluid mechanics are described by Stokes flow. In this project we will begin by considering Stokes flow in an ideal, saturated, 3-dimensional, porous material consisting of agglomerated spherical particles. A number of numerical methodologies, including unstructured grid control volume, smooth particle hydrodynamics, lattice-Boltzmann and Stokesian dynamics, will be tested in order to accurately resolve the 3-dimensional, pore-scale, flow field.

Phonon-photon interactions in nanophotonic structures
This scholarship is for the following field of research: MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES - PHYSICAL MODELLING
The main focus of this research is on the nonlinear interaction between
acoustic and
optical waves in integrated nanophotonic structures. These new “phononic
chips”
promise breakthrough applications in high-speed optical processing and
sensing, and
have recently been used in fundamental studies of “slow” and “fast” light.
The PhD
The PhD
project will concentrate on developing new theoretical and numerical
techniques to
model the complex interaction between optical and acoustic waves in
microstructured devices.

Charged Particle Beam Interactions with solids and Adsorbates
This scholarship is for the following field of research: MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES - PHYSICAL MODELLING
The UTS School of Physics and Advanced Materials and FEI, a USA based
world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of charged particle
beam technologies, are recruiting a PhD student with a keen interest in
modelling the behaviour of molecules at solid-gas interfaces.
The student will gain first class training in the cutting edge fields of
nanotechnology, materials physics and nano-scale electronics.
