You should have or expect to gain a good degree in electronics engineering, or other relevant subject. You will need detailed knowledge of the challenges faced by analogue and digital engineers working at frequencies in excess of 1GHz. For further information about the post and how to apply, visit the Job Opportunities section of the University of Manchester website here. The closing date for applications is 6 August, 2008. PhD Study in Perth, Australia Are you an enthusiastic engineering or physics graduate (or near-graduate) with an interest in radio astronomy? Would you like to undertake PhD studies in one of the World’s most beautiful and liveable capital cities? Bask in a wonderful mediterranean climate, swim at great beaches and be close to many wilderness areas? If yes, then read on! Curtin University of Technology, the largest university in Western Australia, has recently formed the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy under the joint leadership of Prof Peter Hall (engineering) and Prof Steven Tingay (science). As part of this initiative, and to boost the R&D capacity of major new WA radio astronomy Centres, Curtin is offering a limited number of high-value PhD scholarships to graduates from outside Australia and New Zealand. The scholarships cover all tuition fees, provide a good living allowance and include allowances for thesis preparation and production. Perth is the nearest large city to the candidate Australian site for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and Curtin’s radio astronomy program is directed principally to SKA-related topics. Graduates with engineering, astronomy (especially VLBI and related areas) or cross-disciplinary interests are encouraged to apply. Some current engineering areas of interest include:
Curtin has strong links with many international universities and research institutes; favourable placement arrangements for graduates with existing attachments can often be negotiated. For general information on Curtin University refer to www.curtin.edu.au and for some background on Perth and WA start with www.westernaustralia.com. To discuss study opportunities, please contact Prof Peter Hall (P.Hall@curtin.edu.au). Applications close August 31, 2008 and interested students should make contact well before that date.
