PhD Study Opportunities

Are you interested in Graduate Research?  Explore some of the PhD Study Opportunities at UNSW Canberra.  We offer a diverse range of Scholarships Opportunities to domestic and international students to suit you and your situation.

Scholarships of $35,000 (AUD) are available for PhD applicants who achieved H1 (High Distinction) in their undergraduate program and/or have completed a Masters by Research.

I was awarded my PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics at the Australian National University in 2012. My thesis examined populations of young stars in the southern sky, particularly around the nearby open clusters Eta and Epsilon Chamaeleontis. During 2013-2014 I was the Gliese Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, where I identified new stellar moving group members using data from the Gaia satellite astrometry mission. I returned to Australia in 2015 to work on the ANU SkyMapper Southern Sky Survey and in 2016 I took up a Vice Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at UNSW Canberra. I am now a Lecturer in Astrophysics in the School of Science where I teach physics and astronomy courses and conduct research into young, low-mass stars in the Solar neighbourhood.
