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, to work on radio astronomy or radio astronomy
engineering. <a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/9UIXCMwGxOtlxp63HwMSxF?domain=astronomy.curtin.edu.au/" class="">We have a wide range of potential PhD projects to choose from. </a></p><p class="">CIRA forms one half of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (<a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/50iQCNLJyQURVYM3H4sZ3h?domain=icrar.org/" class="">ICRAR</a>),
a joint venture between Curtin University and The University of Western
Australia. Curtin University operates the Murchison Widefield Array (<a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/TdKDCOMKzVTG5D2xskU0fN?domain=mwatelescope.org/" class="">MWA</a>), the precursor to the low frequency component of the Square Kilometre Array (<a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/YV4hCP7LAXflvB5XHjn00l?domain=astronomers.skatelescope.org/" class="">SKA</a>),
and supports a large research group spanning radio astronomy (galactic,
extragalactic), pulsars, accretion physics, studies of the Epoch of
Reionisation (EoR), and radio astronomy engineering research including
significant participation in developing systems (hardware and software)
for the SKA.</p><p class="">Please note this is a two stage process:</p>
<ol class=""><li class="">Review the projects listed <a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/9UIXCMwGxOtlxp63HwMSxF?domain=astronomy.curtin.edu.au/" class="">here</a>. Prospective students should contact potential supervisors by <strong class="">15th August 2020</strong>
with a detailed CV, transcripts of undergraduate (and Masters’) studies
and a paragraph on why they are interested in that project. Unfilled
projects will remain open until the scholarship deadline in step 2. </li>
<li class=""><p class="">Once confirmed as the preferred choice for a given project by a
supervisor, students may proceed with the scholarship application.
