A PhD qualification can open up many exciting career paths in a variety of roles and settings including:
A PhD degree will take you approximately three years to complete. Some students choose to study part-time which increases the time it takes to complete the doctorate.
To start a PhD you need to clarify your research topic and seek an academic staff member to be your supervisor, therefore we recommend allowing several months to consider your application.
Graduating with a PhD is a noteworthy achievement as it is considered the highest postgraduate achievement you can earn. After completing your Doctor of Philosophy you will likely be considered an expert in your field, opening up a variety of new career paths. After completing your PhD, take this unique opportunity to:

2 2018 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA), 4-digit Fields of Research
A research degree is an advanced program of study allowing you to investigate a topic relevant to your field. Under the supervision of world-class researchers, you will learn and apply advanced research methodologies to produce new knowledge and provide solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges. Completing a research degree means becoming an expert in your field. It’s your opportunity to take a topic that interests you, explore it in depth, tackle intellectual, creative and practical challenges, and communicate your findings.
Depending on your area of interest, you can study a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Professional Doctorate, Doctor of Philosophy (by Portfolio of Publications) or Master of Research.
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) (up to four years full-time equivalent) provides you with advanced training and education, and the capacity to conduct research independently at a high level of originality and quality.
By the end of your program, you will be capable of independently designing and executing original research that generates new knowledge.
A rigorous program of advanced study and research, designed specifically to meet the needs of industry, end-users and professional groups. Professional doctorates usually consist of a blend of coursework and research (three to four years full-time equivalent), encouraging close cooperation across university, industry and the profession, as well as providing a framework for integrated professional expertise and scholarly inquiry.
Allows formal recognition of established researchers and/or scholars who do not already hold a PhD qualification, and who have produced research of international standing in their field with an ongoing record of academic publication (work).
A Master of Research (two years full-time equivalent) enables you to analyse your thesis topic at an advanced level, and apply research methodology and techniques to contribute new knowledge in your field, under appropriate supervision.
Please note, a master by coursework (such as an MBA) involves enrolling in selected courses and participating in lectures and tutorials (online or on campus). It is different to a master of research.

Through my PhD I have worked closely with UniSA’s Future Industries Institute, nanoparticle specialist Boutiq Science and Powerhouse Ventures to develop an improved cancer detection system that relies on magnetic rather than radioactive tracers. This new magnetic tracer together with an ultrasensitive magnetometer probe, delivers a more accurate and affordable system for the staging of deep or complex cancers.

I would recommend undertaking a PhD with UniSA for many reasons. UniSA has great research staff to supervise PhD students and the environment (especially Mawson Lakes campus) is a perfect place for research. I found the labs to be well equipped and I have been provided with necessary equipment for my experiments.

2 phd positions at eindhoven university of technology within the hyuse project, job description.
The HyUSE consortium is a public-private partnership comprising 8 universities, 5 universities of applied sciences (HBO), 3 research institutes, and 14 industrial partners. A good balance between fundamental R&D activities and applied research is realized by including research institutes and industrial partners in the execution of the work plan. The industrial involvement guarantees focus on relevant use cases.
The consortium combines a strong mix of the required knowledge and expertise on technologies, modelling capabilities, tools, and experimental facilities. There already exists a high-quality, national ecosystem for testing and validation; the various facilities complement each other and enable research and development from (micro-)component towards system level.
The PhD positions at TU/e will focus on the application of H2 in Internal Combustion Engines [PhD1] and on the modeling of H2 combustion and NOx formation [PhD2] .
[PhD2] This PhD project will be focused on the development of computational models for the numerical simulation of H2 combustion processes and the prediction of NOx emissions. For industrial applications, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling is often the only way to get detailed insights in the flow pattern inside a furnace, flame shape and dynamics, temperature distributions, heat transfer patterns, and NOx formation rates. The use of H2 as a (partial) replacement of NG leads to technical, and operational challenges, but it also introduces modeling challenges: The high diffusivity of hydrogen leads to significant changes in flame front structure, burning rates, NO formation rates, and ignition behavior. In this project you will investigate these so-called Lewis-number effects in H2-NG jets that are injected into high-temperature environments consisting of air and combustion products. Detailed chemical kinetic studies will be performed to study flame structure and NO formation pathways under these conditions. The effect of turbulence on the flame front will be investigated using direct numerical simulations. Based on the results of these detailed studies, reduced-order models will be developed for turbulent combustion. The FGM tabulated chemistry method developed at TU/e will be extended to account for Lewis number effects and NOx chemistry in these non-premixed systems. This new model will be validated against the experiments performed in the other tasks. After its validation, the model will be applied to more realistic systems in collaboration with the industrial partners.
We are looking for talented, outstanding PhD candidates with an M.Sc. degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field, with a background and/or interest in thermofluids engineering and combustion applications, and with a good command of the English language. Furthermore, the candidate is a team player, who will work together with colleague researchers.
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:
Eindhoven University of Technology is an internationally top-ranking university in the Netherlands that combines scientific curiosity with a hands-on attitude. Our spirit of collaboration translates into an open culture and a top-five position in collaborating with advanced industries. Fundamental knowledge enables us to design solutions for the highly complex problems of today and tomorrow.
