In 2013, the AAO is offering up to two AAO PhD Scholarships, and up to two
Trevor Burgess PhD Scholarships, to students at Australian universities.

All scholarships are for a period of 3 years, with a possible extension
for a further 6 months. The value of the scholarships will be
$5000 per annum. Annual renewal is conditional upon satisfactory
performance by the student.

The scholarships are open to any student accepted for a PhD programme at any
Australian university who are substantially co-supervised by an AAO staff
member. The Trevor Burgess PhD Scholarships are only open to Australian
Citizens.

The scholarships can support students with backgrounds in astronomy,
physics, engineering or mathematics with thesis research programs in astronomy
or astronomical instrumentation (and related fields).

For further details, including the application forms and procedure, please

Please consider whether your incoming students this year, and their planned
projects, would benefit from an association with the AAO, and discuss the
possibility of co-supervision with an AAO staff member. The research
interests of AAO staff and some potential projects that could be discussed
are also available on the web at:
