Call for Applications of PhD scholarships for international students
--------------------------------------------------------------------

DEADLINE: August 15th, 2007



Applications are invited from suitably qualified international students
for scholarships to undertake the degree of Master by Research or Doctor
of Philosophy at The University of Western Australia (UWA).

The purpose of the Endeavour IPRS, the UWA SIRF scheme and the
International Research Fee Scholarships for China (IRFSCs) is to attract
top quality international postgraduate students to areas in which the
University has specialized research strengths and to support Australia's
research effort. Successful applicants can expect to become members of a
research team working under the direction of senior researchers and in
an area which has attracted external resources.

The Computer Vision research group at the School of Computer Science and
Software Engineering of UWA is working on a board number of research
projects related to computer vision (including 3D computer vision, 3D
biometrics, forensics, motion and visual tracking, video sequence
analysis), image processing (including medical image processing), and
pattern recognition.  Suitable international students interested in
completing their PhD Degrees in any of these areas are welcome to
contact A/Prof Mohammed Bennamoun (Email: bennamou@csse.uwa.edu.au) to
discuss about potential supervisor(s) and research projects offered by
the research group.
