PhD Studentships in Astronomy
The University of Sydney
Are you a high achieving student who wants to launch your research
career in astrophysics? Where better than the largest and most successful
research group in one of the world's most beautiful and livable cities!
The Sydney Institute for Astronomy (SIfA) invites applications for PhD
scholarships within the School of Physics at The University of Sydney.
With more than thirty research staff, we are among the largest and most
successful astrophysics groups in Australia. A very wide variety of
research topics are available including studies in cosmology, galactic
archaeology, black holes, pulsars and exotic systems, stellar astrophysics
and the detection of exoplanets. We have very strong linkages with
Australia's national facilities (AAO, ATNF) and we operate two major
scientific field stations: the MOST radio telescope and the SUSI
long-baseline optical interferometer.
Eligible applicants will be exceptional students of any nationality who
hold a 1st class honours degree or a masters (or equivalent) in
Physics or a closely-related field. Scholarships will be awarded on a
competitive basis, and provide tuition and a tax-exempt stipend.
Additional funding to support conference and observing travel is
available, as well as scholarship top-ups for the highest-calibre
applicants.
