PhD Scholarships:

In 2013, the AAO is offering up to two AAO PhD Scholarships, and up to two

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

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).

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:
