Studentships
ICRAR has opportunities in our studentships program for students who have almost completed an undergraduate degree and are intending to continue their studies related to astronomy, see our studentships page for more details.
Some PhD applicants may be offered a predoctoral scholarship of a similar length to our undergraduate studentship program but with higher level and more intensive work schedule, this will be discussed with you (if applicable) as part of the application process.
Other opportunities
There are also internship opportunities available online through Australian Postgraduate Research Intern (APR.Intern), GradAustralia, and GradConnection.
