Optus PhD Scholarship for RF Communications

Funding for this PhD scholarship is provided by Optus as part of the Innovative Launch, Automation, Novel Materials, Communications, and Hypersonics Hub (iLAuNCH) Next Generation Satellite Communication project in partnership with ANU. The PhD candidate will contribute to the projects' objectives by researching into new wireless communication schemes and signal processing algorithms for improving the quality of space communication systems (e.g. satellite communications). The scholarship is available to domestic or international students enrolling full-time in a Doctor of Philosophy program at the ANU School of Engineering. Candidates must have qualifications comparable to an Australian Bachelor first class Honours degree and solid fundamental knowledge and research experience in communications and/or signal processing, as well as coding proficiency in languages such as C++, C, MATLAB and/or VHDL. The scholarship offers either a full stipend or supplementary funding for 3.5 years, with opportunities for mentorship, training, and professional development through Optus Satellite enterprise programs.
