PhD Opportunities at Murdoch University (Australia)

PhD Opportunities at Murdoch University (Australia) Murdoch University, Engineering and Information Technology The opportunity:Dr Fang Xia's group at Murdoch University (www.murdoch.edu.au) is seeking high caribre PhD students to do research in the areas of extractive metallurgy or mineral science. Murdoch University is located at the beautiful coastal city, Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. Perth is the 4th largest city in Australia and has been one of the most liveable cities in the world for many years (ranked 9th in 2015). It is a very nice place to study, to work, and to enjoy life.Dr Xia's research has been focused on understanding the mechanism and kinetics of metal extraction processes (extractive metallurgy), and minerals formation and alteration processes (mineral science), using standard laboratory techniques as well as advanced characterizing techniques including the state-of-the-art facilities at the Australian Synchrotron (e.g., in situ X-ray diffraction, or small angle X-ray scattering) and at Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (e.g., small angle neutron scattering, or neutron diffraction). During the candidature, you will have the chance of going to Melbourne and Sydney to do research as well.Murdoch University has been very strong in metallurgical engineering and is well known to local and international organisations. The metallurgical engineering department has educated numerous metallurgists for Australia's multi-billion-dollar mineral industry, and fresh graduates' annual salary is often greater than $100,000 Australian dollars. It is so easy to get a highly paid job (especially in Western Australia) so few domestic students stay to do PhD. Hence we are seeking international PhD candidates to do research in extractive metallurgy or mineral science. Once completed, you will have the chance to get a permanent resident visa in Australia and work either in the mineral industry, or in the research organizations and universities. Eligibilities:Minimum qualification: Master by research.Excellent undergraduate academic performance (high GPA).Students with the following background are preferred: for extractive metallurgy (metallurgy, chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science and engineering), and for mineral science (geology, mineralogy, chemistry). Candidates should have some research experience and outputs (journal papers) and should be passionate about research.Minimum English requirement: IELTS (Academic) 6.5 (no individual band less than 6.0), or TOEFL - Internet-based - Minimum score of 90 with no band less than 20.Scholarships:The scholarships waive tuition fee and provide a generous annual living allowance of ~$26-30k.
