PhD Research Scholarship Opportunity
Department of Geography

National University of Singapore

Peopling Infrastructure: Aeromobilities, Automation and Labour Mobilisations in Asia

With an ideal start date of January 2020, ONE Research Scholarship (RS) is available at the National University of Singapore (NUS) for prospective PhD students interested in completing a research on airport infrastructure, automation and labour.

Successful applicants will complete their degree in the Department of Geography. The deadline for application is 27 September 2019.

The RS details can be found here. The end-date of the RS award will be the fourth (PhD) year of study and it will cover tuition fees and provide a monthly stipend. The scholarship is targeted for applicants who have training and skills in the following areas and will continue to focus on either of these topics in their PhD programme:

• Airports, aeromobilities and new theoretical directions

• The relationship between infrastructure, labour and/or automation

The PhD thesis work should be an independent project which fits broadly into a Social Science and Humanities Research (SSHR) Fellowship project on “Peopling Infrastructure: Aeromobilities, Automation and Labour Mobilisations in Asia” (Principal Investigator [PI]: Dr Lin Weiqiang, Department of Geography with collaborators Professor Peter Adey [Royal Holloway, University of London] and Dr Tina Harris [University of Amsterdam]):

Motivated by the rapid acceleration of aeromobilities in Asia, the project aims to better understand the inner-workings of the aviation industry as well as inform related policies surrounding infrastructure building, technology and airport labour in the region. In particular, the project will focus on the daily labour that goes into the maintenance and reproduction of infrastructure as well as its relationship with technological (automative) counterparts. Our focus is on contemporary Asia and is concerned with the sustainability of the present turn towards mega-infrastructures.

The PhD candidate is expected to assist in conducting international fieldwork as part of the SSHR Fellowship project, predominantly in the form of semi-structured interviews. He/she is welcome to expand on the project’s field research, and to use related empirical materials as part of his/her PhD research.

Department of Geography

Geography at the National University of Singapore has a long and proud history dating back to 1928, when it became one of the first subjects offered in the Faculty of Arts at Raffles College, a former entity of NUS. Some 90 years on, it is Asia’s leading geography department and is consistently ranked among the top 10 geography departments globally. This reputation is built upon research excellence in three key areas: tropical environmental change, social and cultural geographies (with a particular focus on Asian cities), and political and economic geography. This excellence is showcased by the wide range of high quality research and publications that the department produces every year and its high impact and visibility in the academic communities throughout the world. The department is home to a growing graduate community of approximately 75 students (encompassing taught Masters, Masters by research and PhD students) and has a thriving undergraduate programme that typically hosts 90-100 students in the final Honours year.

Application Procedure

Graduate research students in the Department of Geography follow a semi-structured programme that involves a taught component in the first one to two years of registration. The programme allows a PhD student to acquire and develop to a high standard both subject-specific and transferable skills, thus enabling a student to access a broad range of future employment opportunities – in business, industry, consultancy, education, research etc.

Applicants must be university graduates with at least an upper second class honours degree or equivalent and at the time of the RS award. Applications from candidates who also already hold a graduate degree (e.g. Masters) are particularly welcome. Excellent communication skills in English and preferably language proficiency in Arabic, Bahasa Melayu and/or Mandarin Chinese are an advantage.

There is no restriction on the nationality of applicants.

Applicants who are able to start the PhD programme in January 2020 are strongly preferred. For further information and details on pursuing an application for the January 2020 intake, please contact in the first instance, Dr Lin Weiqiang ([email protected]) and Ms Pauline Lee ([email protected]) from the Department of Geography with a copy of your curriculum vitae.

Otherwise, the application deadline is 1 November 2019 for the August 2020 intake. Applications should be submitted here. All applicants must write separately to Dr Lin Weiqiang ([email protected]) to indicate their interest in the project by 1 November 2019.

Please congratulate Mr. Eshan Ahmed (batch-09, CUET URP) for his acceptance to Missouri State University. Mr. Ahmed is going to pursue his MS in Geo-spatial Science and Technology (Major- Geological and Earth System Science) from this Fall 2019. He got 100% scholarship for enrolling his master's degree and will start his research in renowned Ozark Environmental and Water Resources Institute. His project is on using LIDAR and HEC-RAS modeling to understand how channel processes and form are affected by human activities and possibly climate change in forested watersheds in Mark Twain National Forest.

Best wishes for him.

Dr. Eric Nost (Geography, Environment and Geomatics – University of Guelph) is recruiting a Master's student with interests in agri-environmental stewardship, geospatial technology, and science-policy interfaces, to start in Fall 2019. The student will complete a social science research project on ag data governance and use, conducting interviews with and surveying stakeholders including crop advisors, government agency staff, and representatives of farmers groups. The thesis will be developed alongside collaborators who are creating a soil carbon accounting and profit mapping tool (see Capmourteres et al. 2018) that will require assessing existing/best practices for farm-level data management and how users might actually employ such information in their decision-making. The research is funded by the Arrell Food Institute at the University of Guelph via the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.

The Master’s student will gain experience with semi-structured interview and Q survey methods, as well as cartographic analysis (depending on interest and qualifications). A key component of the research will involve knowledge mobilization alongside collaborators - an opportunity for the student to enhance their project management and public communication skills.

Prospective applicants should contact me via email - [email protected] - and forward an unofficial transcript, resume or CV, and a statement outlining their interests as they relate to the project description above.
