Dear all,

I’d be grateful if you could forward this email to prospective PhD students.

The Centre of Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne University of Technology is currently recruiting PhD scholarships. This includes a scholarship to work with on pulsar timing array science with me and the pulsar/FRB/GW group as part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav<https://www.ozgrav.org/>).

Details about the project can be found here:

The deadline for submitting an expression of interest for the scholarship is 13 March 2026.

How to apply: Further details about undertaking a PhD at Swinburne, and instructions for applying can be found here:

Funding: This is a fully funded scholarship from the ARC Centre of Excellence of Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), a virtual research centre headquartered at Swinburne and involving researchers in Australia and overseas. The funding includes a tax-free stipend of approximately $35,500 per year,  a tuition waiver, and access to funding to travel to telescopes, international conferences, and collaborative meetings.

Location: Swinburne University of Technology is located in the lively inner-city suburb of Hawthorn, only minutes by public transport from Melbourne's city centre. Melbourne is top ranked for its quality of life and as a destination for working abroad. Swinburne provides a positive and supportive work environment and comprehensive benefits, including vacation, sick, and parental leave, and thesis publication and relocation cost allowances.

Swinburne is committed to the principles of equity, fairness and inclusivity and to a workplace free from discrimination. The University has been recognised as a Workplace Employer of Choice for gender equality. Our Centre values its diverse work environment and welcomes applications from qualified candidates of any gender, orientation, nationality, and background.

Please do not hesitate to speak to me if you have any questions about the project.

Regards,

Ryan
