We invite well-qualified students of any nationality to apply to the PhD program at Curtin University’s Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA) based in Perth, Australia. In support of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), this program focuses on radio astronomy or radio astronomy engineering.

Available PhD projects are listed here and are nominally three years with a possible six-month extension.

Application Instructions

Please note that there are up to 14 scholarships (seven for international and domestic students and seven for domestic students only). The application for these scholarships is a two stage process:
