Are you interested in pursuing a PhD in solar, stellar, or exoplanetary physics? Or do you know any students who may be?
We are seeking expressions of interest from motivated students who are interested in applying for a PhD scholarship. Our research spans observations and modelling of: solar magnetic fields, solar and stellar activity, helio- and asteroseismology, space weather, exoplanets and their atmospheres, and evolved stars and their local environments.
Prospective students will have the opportunity to work with a collaborative and internationally connected team that includes: Prof. David Pontin<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/LiWJCXLW2mUGOQBR3t6fLLiWfmp9?domain=profiles.newcastle.edu.au> [email<mailto:David.Pontin at newcastle.edu.au>], Dr Hannah Schunker<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/Aoo9CYW8NocgA7kqPSGhJJixm13b?domain=profiles.newcastle.edu.au> [email<mailto:Hannah.Schunker at newcastle.edu.au>], Dr Tom Evans-Soma<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/k9viCZY1NqixQ6PLyiKiVViBR9Cs?domain=profiles.newcastle.edu.au> [email<mailto:Tom.Evans-Soma at newcastle.edu.au>] and Dr Taissa Danilovich<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/CIcCC1WLPxcOq4noKtXsppiVJXJj?domain=drtaissa.github.io> [email<mailto:Taissa.Danilovich at newcastle.edu.au>]
We welcome enquiries from students with backgrounds in physics, astronomy, applied mathematics, computational science, or related disciplines. At UoN, Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship applications are expected to open to domestic applicants in October and close by the end of November, so we encourage you to get in touch with us by mid-November at the latest.
If you are interested in discussing potential research projects, please contact one of us using the links above, or for general enquiries:
