PhD Scholarship
Designing Human-Computer Interfaces for Submarine Command and Control
Command and Control of a modern submarine requires the responsible officer
to gather and integrate an extraordinarily wide amount of information.
Although he or she has the assistance of a team of specialists operating an
advanced computer-based Combat System, the task of maintaining the high
levels of situation awareness necessary for safe and successful operations
can be extremely demanding.
Curtin University's Centre for Marine Science and Technology (CMST), in
collaboration with Australia's Defence Science and Technology Organisation
(DSTO) is researching new methods of presenting information to the command
personnel of Australia's Collins class submarines. This research project
will establish a design process that uses the Cognitive Systems Engineering
approach to bridge the gap between work analysis outputs and the design of
appropriate human-computer interfaces. The research will link to analytical
work already completed, and is expected to contribute to the establishment
of an iterative, simulation-based testing and development program for the
next generation of submarine combat system interfaces.
The project is cross-disciplinary in nature and suitably qualified
applicants from a broad range of academic backgrounds are encouraged to
apply.
A PhD scholarship is offered that is fully funded for three years, and
includes an annual stipend of $25,000. Discretionary funding is also
available for travel costs, conference attendance and other project-related
expenses. Tuition fees are met by the university, and in most circumstances,
scholarships are tax-free. The scholarship is available immediately.
Interested applicants should contact, in the first instance:
