NEW PhD Positions
The rapidly expanding Astronomy Group at Macquarie University now invites applications for a PhD scholarship in the area of galactic archaeology, dwarf galaxies and stellar streams, to be supervised by Dr. Daniel Zucker. The successful candidate will join the friendly, vibrant Astronomy and Astrophysics Concentration of Research Excellence (CORE) at Macquarie, comprising five faculty and over thirty postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate students (see http://www.astronomy.mq.edu.au).
Macquarie University is a dynamic research and teaching institution located on a park-like campus in Sydney, Australia, a lively, culturally-diverse city with a warm climate and a very high standard of living. Macquarie University astronomy also benefits from its very close proximity to the headquarters of the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO) and the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF); several Macquarie faculty members -- including Dr. Zucker -- hold joint AAO appointments, and Macquarie PhD students have access to the expertise and research resources of the AAO/ATNF and opportunities for co-supervision by AAO astronomers.
Eligible applicants will be high calibre students of any nationality who should have the equivalent of an Australian 1st class honours degree in a relevant field. Scholarships provide tuition and a tax-exempt stipend.
