ICRAR is looking for talented, hard-working and motivated students to work on our postgraduate research projects.
Opportunities are available for research projects at both of ICRAR’s joint venture partners, Curtin University and The University of Western Australia. Research projects are available across many areas of astronomy (both theoretical and observational), astronomy engineering and high performance computing.
Available projects are listed below. For further details on an individual project, please contact the potential supervisor.
