MQRES Physics Magnetic Fields in Protoplanetary Discs PhD Scholarship

Scholarship Description

A full-time Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarships (MQRES) is available at the Division of Information and Communication Sciences for a project to develop an understanding of how the dynamical behaviour of discs is controlled by the magnetic field, and to link this to observations through its effects on microphysical processes such as ionization and chemistry. MQRES scholarships are available to domestic and international students. Applicants should have completed equivalent research qualifications to an Australian undergraduate degree with first class honours in a relevant discipline, such as a Masters degree with substantial thesis component. We are seeking high calibre, suitably qualified physics/Astrophysics graduates and early career professionals interested in returning to higher degree studies are particularly encouraged to apply. International award holders will have their full tuition fee and Overseas Health Care costs paid under the award.
