PhD Scholarship in Ocean Engineering - Swinburne University of Technology Australia

PhD Scholarship in Ocean Engineering Development of a Global Ocean Databasefrom Satellite Altimeters
*Victoria, Australia*
*BACKGROUND:
*Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) is seeking a suitably qualifiedstudent to undertake post-graduate study to develop an altimeter databasefor ocean waves and apply it to investigation of extreme wave events.
*About Swinburne University of Technology
*Swinburne University of Technology is a large multi-sectoral andmulti-campus institution with a stated mission to be a pre-eminententrepreneurial university from the Asia-Pacific, thriving on new ideas andknowledge and exploiting its intersectoral heritage to create value for itsstakeholders.The Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences is host to most of theengineering activities at Swinburne as well as key programs in aviation andphotonics. The Coastal Engineering and Physical Oceanography group of theFaculty specialises in research of deep-water and finite-depth wavedynamics, spectral modelling of wind-generated waves, wave breaking anddissipation, air-sea interaction, wave-bottom interaction and turbulence.
*PROJECT ABSTRACT:
*Over the past 20 years satellite-based radar altimeters have mademeasurements of ocean wave conditions. During this period of time a total of7 different altimeter missions have been flown. The combined databaserepresents the most comprehensive dataset ever developed of global waveconditions. This project involves developing a combined database from theseseparate missions and then applying this to the determination of extremewave conditions at any location on the global oceans. The resulting databasehas the potential to drastically change the way in which ocean wave designis undertaken.
*SELECTION CRITERIA
* 1. Degree in Engineering, Computer Science or Mathematical Sciences (essential)
2. Strong analytical and mathematical skills (essential)
3. A good working knowledge of programming and databases (desirable)
*Commencement Date:
*March 2008
*Scholarship:
* A$24,815 per annum, tax exempt. Duration – three years
*Application deadline:
*31 January 2008

About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
