Call for HDR Projects: Anita Lawrence Scholarship

 

This project is inspired by the legacy of Associate Professor Anita Lawrence, UNSW’s first female architecture graduate and a pioneering acoustician whose 32‑year career and generous bequest continue to shape research and innovation within the School of Built Environment.

 

We are asking for research proposals to demonstrate that acoustics and hence the resulting soundscape as fundamental design factors, to inform future design decisions and enhance the lived experience of users in shared environments.

 

Scholarship (PhD 3.5 years, MPhil 1.5 years)

 

Anita Lawerence Scholarship - $39,206 per annum (2026 rate), $5,000 per annum research allowance

 

 

How to apply

 

Please email us your CV, academic transcript(s), and proposal. You are welcome to reach out with any questions to d.dincer@unsw.edu.au or Hon. Assoc. Prof. Marion Burgess at marion.burgess@unsw.edu.au.

Thank you!
