Subject: [4MOST] 4MOST-related PhD scholarships at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, UWA, Perth

Firstly, apologies if you receive this through multiple channels and for the potential spam.

ICRAR/UWA in Perth, Australia is currently putting out a call for International PhD studentship applications to commence by March 2021 (see full details below). A number of potential projects are associated with the planning and preparation for 4MOST-WAVES and the WAVES-deep precursor DEVILShttps://devilsurvey.org/wp/. These include:

COSMIC CAR-CRASHES: THE LAST 8 BILLION YEARS OF GALAXIES SMASHING INTO EACH OTHERhttps://www.icrar.org/study-with-icrar/postgraduate-opportunities/postgraduate-research-projects/distant-universe/cosmic-car-crashes-the-last-8-billion-years-of-galaxies-smashing-into-each-other/ Primary Supervisor: Luke Davies (DEVILS P.I., WAVES PS, 4MOST deputy exGal PS)

THE EVOLUTION OF ENERGY, MASS AND STRUCTURE OVER ALL TIMEhttps://www.icrar.org/study-with-icrar/postgraduate-opportunities/postgraduate-research-projects/distant-universe/the-evolution-of-energy-mass-and-structure-over-all-time/ Various projects, Supervisors: Simon Driver (GAMA & WAVES P.I.), Aaron Robotham (WAVES PS), Luke Davies

PROSPECT-ING FOR GALAXIES: MODELLING ALL ASTROPHYSICAL RADIATIONhttps://www.icrar.org/study-with-icrar/postgraduate-opportunities/postgraduate-research-projects/distant-universe/prospect-ing-for-galaxies/ Primary Supervisor: Aaron Robotham

LARGE VOLUME SIMULATIONS OF THE LARGE SCALE STRUCTURE AND GALAXY FORMATIONhttps://www.icrar.org/study-with-icrar/postgraduate-opportunities/postgraduate-research-projects/cosmological-theory/large-volume-simulations-of-the-large-scale-structure-and-galaxy-formation/ Various simulation projects, Supervisors: Claudia Lagos, Aaron Robotham

Please could you forward this email to any non-Australia-based students who you think would be appropriate for a PhD position at ICRAR/UWA, and ask them to either contact myself, or the supervisors noted above, for further details. A full list of all available projects at ICRAR/UWA can be found herehttps://www.icrar.org/study-with-icrar/postgraduate-opportunities/postgraduate-research-projects/#;location=291.

Many thanks,

Luke

The University of Western Australiahttps://www.uwa.edu.au/ (UWA) node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) invites applications for its PhD program for commencement by 31 March 2021.

ICRARhttps://www.icrar.org/ is one of Australia’s top astronomical research institutes. Established in 2009 as a high profile equal joint venture between Curtin University and UWA, ICRAR is a leading organization in the international Square Kilometre Array project.

ICRAR/UWA hosts a vibrant and friendly research environment where PhD students carry out cutting-edge projects in observational and theoretical astrophysics, often including work in "Big Data" methodologies and technologies. ICRAR/UWA researchers play leading roles in programs that exploit state-of-the-art radio telescopes (e.g. ASKAPhttps://www.atnf.csiro.au/projects/askap/index.html), exquisite multi-wavelength datasets (e.g. GAMAhttp://www.gama-survey.org/, DEVILShttps://devilsurvey.org/wp/, SAMIhttps://sami-survey.org/), and the latest galaxy formation models run on powerful HPC facilities, such as the Pawsey Supercomputing Centrehttps://pawsey.org.au/ and other National Computational Infrastructure in Australia.

Situated on the Swan River, UWA is one of Australia’s most picturesque campuses. Its open courtyards lush and verdant, are a place to study and relax, taking advantage of Perth’s beautiful climate.

A range of PhD scholarships are available, covering tuition fees, health insurance, living allowance support and research/travel expenses. For details about ICRAR/UWA's PhD program, including eligibility requirements and potential projects, follow the web links below.

Applicants are requested to submit an application to UWA via its application online systemhttps://iathena.grs.uwa.edu.au/. Your submitted documentation must include full transcript & completion certificates including grading scale; CV; publications; thesis; passport bio page; English language test result and summary of proposed research. For the latter, please have a look at the projects available at ICRAR/UWAhttps://www.icrar.org/study-with-icrar/postgraduate-opportunities/postgraduate-research-projects/#;location=291 (see this linkhttps://www.uwa.edu.au/study/how-to-apply/postgraduate-research for details). Please also arrange to have two reference letters sent by this deadline to: hdr-ems uwa.edu.au. Note that this deadline is for international students only.

ICRAR/UWA is committed to equity and diversity and encourages applications from all qualified candidates.
