Damian, your project sounds very interesting, specifically project 1 (I would love to be able to simulate GPS reception of random locations and times in my lab).
Have you checked the http://gnss-sdr.org/ website? They don't use GNU Radio, but it would still overlap a lot with what you're suggesting. As you've probably read, we can't promise to find a mentor for this. But the idea sounds interesting! I recommend you go the usual route of setting up a proposal.
