90 becas para maestría y doctorado en Australia

El programa AUS-Aid abrió su convocatoria para becas de posgrado en Australia. El período de recepción de documentos está vigente hasta abril 2013 y es para iniciar estudios en enero 2014.

El sitio web es: http://www.AusAIDAASLatAm.org/

Estas becas son específicamente para alumnos de países latinoamericanos, por lo que son especialmente relevantes para este blog. En vez de estar catalogadas por disciplina, este programa busca tener impacto directo en problemáticas prioritarias para nuestra región. Por ello, estas becas van dirigidas a quienes ven el diseño como una estrategia para resolver problemas concretos. Por ejemplo, temas como Agua o Desarrollo Rural -que son temas que rebasan a cualquier disciplina y que bien podrían beneficiarse de enfoques creativos de diseño.

Ahora, el reto para cualquiera que busque aplicar va a ser localizar una maestría (dificil) o un doctorado (menos dificil) que les permita abordar estas temáticas desde el diseño. Sé que el Profesor Bob Hodge en UWS podría ser un caso ejemplar, probablemente habrá otros centros o programas afines.

Buena suerte a quienes decidan ir por esta opción. Son hasta 90 becas, pienso que con una propuesta interesante es relativamente fácil obtenerla.

Buscando supervisor o asesor de tesis y Becas en QUT

Especialmente para el doctorado, pero también en muchos casos para la maestría, un primer paso fundamental es encontrar un supervisor o asesor de tesis (en distintos países le llaman de diferente manera, incluyendo "director de tesis").

En este enlace se explica muy bien qué hace un supervisor y ofrece una herramienta de búsqueda muy buena con la que se puede encontrar a profesores en esa universidad usando palabras clave:

http://www.qut.edu.au/study/phds-and-research-degrees/finding-a-supervisor


Por ejemplo, usando la herramienta de búsqueda uno puede fácilmente identificar a las 8 personas en QUT que trabajan en "product design": http://staff.qut.edu.au/?query=%22product+design%22&members_search_submit=Search

Entre quienes veo se encuentra la Dra Chamorro-Koc, diseñadora de Perú que trabaja con temas relacionados con diseño de experiencia, factores humanos, interfaces, y proceso de diseño: http://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/chamorro/

Así que ahí está, esta herramienta muy útil para encontrar posibles supervisores de tesis. Ojalá que todas las universidades tuvieran esta búsqueda por palabra clave!

Y hablando de QUT, tienen este interesante programa doctoral y este programa de becas:
Doctor of Philosophy (Hosted by Creative Industries Faculty)

Becas: http://www.qut.edu.au/research/scholarships-and-funding

Nuevas maestrías en Swinburne, Australia para el 2012

Sin poder dar muchos detalles, esta semana fui invitado a Swinburne Design en Australia y con gusto comparto aquí las buenas noticias: para el 2012 esta universidad tiene en puerta un conjunto de nuevas maestrías en distintas áreas del diseño.


Recomiendo ampliamente considerar estas opciones a quienes estén interesados ya que Swinburne es una universidad que ha adquirido un gran prestigio en poco tiempo y ahora le está apostando al diseño como una de sus 4 áreas estratégicas para el futuro.


http://www.swinburne.edu.au/design/courses/



Hay gente muy bien preparada y con mucha hambre intelectual y diseñística en Swinburne. Tanto en diseño industrial como en digital, interiores y gráfico. Verdaderamente su decano Ken Friedman ha logrado disparar a Swinburne y es fácil ver que en un futuro cercano cada vez se hablará más de esta escuela dentro y fuera de Australia.


Chequen en la embajada de Australia las becas que aquel gobierno da a mexicanos, colombianos y otros países de la región. Con este tipo de escuelas en Australia, sinceramente quien quiera seguir yendo a estudiar a Italia es porque se quedó en el paradigma del siglo XX.

Beca para doctorado en Birmingham, Reino Unido

Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD) is part of a cross discipline centre for research into design for zero carbon. BIAD has two foci:

- One focus is on retrofit of energy saving technologies in existing building stock, modeling of energy in buildings, and the application of complexity theory.

- The other focus is on consumer behaviour change for a carbon neutral future, especially through advertising creating the right kinds of desire.

---

PhD Studentship in Retro-fit

We are offering a PhD studentship in design for zero carbon. This is linked to specific interests in building design, specifically in retro-fit of energy saving technologies, and work with gaining knowledge of a carbon negative house in Birmingham. This studentship is placed in the Birmingham School of Architecture. We welcome enquiries from a wide range of candidates from design, engineering, and architecture. Informal enquiries are welcomed in advance of a formal application.

Although all new UK buildings will need to be zero carbon by 2019, the majority of carbon emissions and environmental impact comes from existing buildings. Birmingham School of Architecture at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design are involved in a unique research project on zero carbon retrofit of buildings. We are developing methods and tools through experimental research, including monitoring and post occupancy evaluation of a zero carbon retrofit house. The work has a potential for a significant impact on UK carbon emissions and the UK economy.

We are seeking suitably qualified and enthusiastic PhD candidates to pursue research within our Low Carbon Retrofit programme, running within our Centre for Low Carbon Research. Successful applicant will have an opportunity to join this research programme at the forefront of the current state of the art and influence its future development.

Candidates should hold a good honours degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline and be committed to studying for a PhD. Experience of sustainable building design, building performance monitoring or building simulation would be an advantage.

A successful applicant for a Research Bursary will receive a tax-free living allowance of GBP13,590 per year (paid monthly) and a fee-waiver for full-time student PhD enrolment, for three years subject to satisfactory performance being maintained.

For further information about BIAD Research please see http://www.biad.bcu.ac.uk/research/site/pages/home.php

and for further details about this studentship please see

http://www.biad.bcu.ac.uk/research/site/pages/clcr.php

The closing date for applications is close of business on 10 June 2011. Interviews will be held on 27 June.
Informal enquiries to:

Dr Lubo Jankovic - lubo.jankovic@bcu.ac.uk

PhD studentships in design for sustainable desires

There may be up to two further PhD studentships which are just announced EITHER in retro-fit (as above) OR in creating desires (below).

Sustainable design is often seen only as a technological fix, but whatever the technologies involved, designers create desires both through the creation of products and services and through their branding and promotion. Our interests centre around ways in which present consumer behaviours may be turned toward more sustainable futures. This is an area of great cultural complexity, and may include designers from any relevant design subject specialism (such as visual communications, advertising, animation, industrial design, furniture, fashion, interiors, retail design, and landscape/architecture) but also from any other discipline that can contribute to understanding behaviour change in the context of design at all levels from design practice to international policy making.

Informal enquiries are welcomed.

The closing date for applications is close of business on 10 June 2011. Interviews will be held on 27 June.
Informal enquiries to:

Professor David Durling - david.durling@bcu.ac.uk

could do. Its three themes focus on the potential for new design content
and process within design's core tributary disciplines of creative arts,
science and technology, and the human sciences and humanities.
Applicants are sought with an interest in: the creative potential of
communicative media (static, dynamic and interactive); the use of new
printable, paintable and programmable materials capable of being made
intelligent through design; and the untapped potential for design within
knowledge, insights and practices from the human sciences and
humanities.

The research themes for Make Changes are: Design Value Innovation,
Social Innovation and Design for Social Equity. This grouping focuses on
what design can do. Its three themes focus on demonstrating the value of
design through innovation with commercial, community and global
collaborators. Applicants are sought with an interest in: commercial
innovation, design management for business, service design, public
