Dear colleagues,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We would appreciate it if you would pass this message on to prospective students who might be interested.<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The UQ Astro group is now inviting expressions of interest from students who seek a PhD scholarship to commence in January 2022 (Research Quarter 1). Due to travel restrictions, the call is open to on-shore (domestic and international) students
only.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As a UQ Doctor of Philosophy (Astrophysics) candidate you will engage in original research, and be supervised by outstanding mentors, for the 3-4 year duration of your candidature. By the time of conferral, you will have developed independent
research skills and made a significant contribution to the field of Astrophysics.<br class="">
<br class="">
Undertaking your PhD with the UQ Astrophysics team would allow you to become a part of our group of world-class researchers and teachers, innovative industry experts, and join the brightest students as part of our team to deliver impact both across Australia and
on an international stage.<br class="">
<br class="">
UQ Astrophysics is embedded within the Discipline of Physics, which itself is part of the School of Mathematics and Physics in the Faculty of Science. <br class="">
<br class="">
Astronomical and Space Sciences are amongst the University of Queensland’s research strengths, consistently receiving the top rating of “well-above international standard” in the Excellence in Research for Australia assessments. The astrophysics group has been
rapidly expanding over the last few years, and have leadership roles in major international collaborations such as:<br class="">
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• The Dark Energy Survey and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, mapping the evolution of structures in our Universe over billions of years.<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• The Gambit Collaboration, combining astronomy and particle physics to uncover the nature of dark matter and search for physics beyond the standard model.<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• The SAMI survey, using detailed maps of how stars and gas move around inside distant galaxies to explore how they have formed and evolved.<br class="">
</div>
Our astrophysics staff have the reputation for being outstanding mentors and the impact of their guidance can be seen in in the outcomes for astrophysics PhD students who have gone on to successful careers doing postdoctoral research, lecturing, computer vision,
and data science among a few. <br class="">
<br class="">
PhD students at UQ typically get access to major telescopes and supercomputing facilities, including from our own local remote observing facility, as well as significant travel funding. There are many opportunities to be involved in outreach and education initiatives.
We welcome people from all backgrounds at UQ Astrophysics and we actively promote equal opportunity practices, diversity and inclusion across the School, as demonstrated by our Silver Pleiades award.</div>
