Queensland University of Technology Scholarships in Australia 2026 | Fully Funded

Summary:

The Queensland University of Technology Scholarships are for PhD programs in Unveiling quantum transport in mixed ionic-electronic conductors.

This is an experimental project, and the candidate will be supervised by A/Prof Soniya Yambem (Primary Supervisor), Dr Mahboobeh Shahbazi (Associate Supervisor), and Dr Wendy Purches (External Supervisor, CSIRO.

This project will explore transport phenomena in organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) in various conditions. OMIECs are a class of materials that uniquely combine the ability to conduct both electronic charge carriers (electrons or holes) and mobile ions.

Eligibilities:

To be considered for the Queensland University of Technology Graduate Scholarship, you must:

• meet the entry requirements for a QUT research degree, including any English language requirements. You must also:

  • enrol as a full-time, internal student (unless approval for part-time and/or external study is obtained)

  • start your degree by 1 March 2026

  • have a background in

    • physics

    • materials science

    • nanotechnology

    • electronic engineering.

• You should also have a clear understanding of semiconductor physics and devices.

Benefits:

• a stipend of $40,000 per annum for a maximum duration of 3.5 years while undertaking a QUT PhD. The duration includes an extension of up to 6 months (PhD) if approved for your candidature. This is the full-time, tax-exempt rate which will index annually.

• a tuition fee offset/sponsorship, covering the cost of your tuition fees for the first 4 full-time equivalent years of your doctoral studies.

• the opportunity to work with a team of leading researchers, to undertake your own innovative research in and across the field.

Deadline:
