Scholarship Beasiswa | PhD at Queensland

PhD positions at Queensland University of Technology

Scholarship Description :

Overview : Positions under the ARC Linkage project Facilitating Business Process Standardization and Reuse. Up to 3 new positions (1 Research Fellow and up to 2 PhD students) are available at the BPM Research Group within the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. The positions are under a new research project on ?FacilitatingBusiness Process Standardization and Reuse.

Project background
One of the most pressing management challenges of today`s organisations lies in the reuse and standardisation of best practices across different sectors, products or units. This project aims to design and develop an innovative process model repository and appropriate governance structures to efficiently and effectively support the standardisation and reuse of best practices.

The project is co-founded by Suncorp, one of Australia`s top 25 listed companies and Queensland`s largest listed corporation. Suncorp provides a range of banking and insurance products directly to customers through an extensive branch and agency network, call centre operations, on-line facilities, and through intermediaries and corporate partners. The collaboration with Suncorp will offer the successful applicants an opportunity to work with real-life business process models, and the possibility to conduct case studies to validate the outcomes of their research.

Research Fellow
The role of this research fellow is to work on algorithms and techniques to facilitate standardization of proven practices in large collections ofbusiness process models. Moreover, the fellow is expected to take a key role in the management of the research project. S(he) will assist in the supervision of research students where required, and participate in the development of the project by preparing and collating publications, reports and articles, as appropriate. Furthermore, s(he) will develop, and oversee the development of, prototypical software.

Positions under the ARC Discovery project ?Risk-aware Business Process Management.

Up to 5 new positions (1 Research Fellow and up to 4 PhD students) are available at the BPM Research Group within the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. The positions are under a new research project on ?Risk-awareBusiness Process Management.

Project Background
This project will increase risk awareness in corporate process management and, in so doing, will lead to increased process awareness within corporate risk management. It will investigate, evaluate and enhance current approaches for the identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, and overall management of risk as it relates to business processes. Informed by relevant mathematical foundations, conceptual-analytical research, and empirical evidence from a range of case studies, the project will extend established process management approaches by explicitly including the concept of risk as an integral part of process definition and enactment.
