 MQ University PhD Scholarship (MQRES)

Candidates are invited to apply for scholarships. The 2014 MQRES full-time stipend rate is $25,392 pa tax exempt for 3 years.

This scholarship is open to international candidates and includes tuition. I have a few of these allocated to me, and I am keen to recruit strong students. You will join my group, which includes Dr. Phil Whiting (formerly at Bell Labs in the USA), Dr. Min Li (PhD, Penn State), Dr. Chunshan Liu (PhD, Univ. of York, U.K.) and Dr. Diep Nguyen (PhD, Univ. of Arizona). Possible projects are listed in Research Projects page.

For further information and enquiries in the first instance, please contact Prof Stephen Hanly.

Prospective PhD applicants should have a first class Honours degree or equivalence, and for scholarship holders, additional relevant research experience and/or qualifications in line with the University's scholarship rating guidelines. Refer to Scholarship Requirements for further information about this.

Applicants should submit a cover letter detailing relevant experience, a CV, academic transcripts, and provide contact details for two academic referees who will support the application. Applicants will need to complete a candidature/scholarship application form and arrange for two academic referee reports to be submitted to the Higher Degree Research Office. Refer to the Applications page for further application instructions. Macquarie University will advise the successful applicant of entitlements at the time of scholarship offer.
