*Please circulate this email to potential applicants for the ACAMAR SKA PhD
Scholarship*

ACAMAR is delighted to offer SKA scholarships for Chinese Ph.D students to
visit or enrol at selected Australian universities and research institutes.
These scholarships, of which up to 20 per year are available, are funded by
Australian institutes and the China Scholarship Council (CSC), managed by
the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
There will normally be two rounds per year, with only the first round
offering the full 4-yr scholarships. This scheme is open to students of
Chinese nationality up to 35 years old.

Note: All PhD projects will be related to *SKA radio astronomy*.

*OPTION 1: 4-year scholarships (deadline 10th February 2018)*

Applications are invited only once per year for 4-yr SKA scholarships for

university.

University, Melbourne University, Swinburne University, University of
Sydney, University of Tasmania, and The University of Western Australia.
CSIRO projects may also be selected, but enrolment is only possible at a

need to pass the eligibility requirements (including IELTS) of the host
university.

and Technology of China at Hefei.
