Open to:
Applicants who have either a conditional or unconditional offer of admission for full-time studies in a Masters by Research or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) within the Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney;
Applicants who are currently enrolled in the final year of at least a four-year Bachelor’s degree in Science or relevant discipline area, or an equivalent degree (combined undergraduate, Honours or Masters Program) at a non-Australian university, with at least 25% of the final year of the degree being a research component;
Applicants who have achieved a minimum Weighted Average Mark (WAM) equivalent to a grade of 85 at the University of Sydney;
Applicants may not be an Australian/New Zealand citizen, or an Australian permanent resident; and

This scholarship is available for the project on Optical Spectroscopy in the research group of Dr Girish Lakhwani in the School of Chemistry. The aim of the project is to identify materials that can efficiently transfer energy across long distances. The project will involve spectroscopic characterisation of advanced semiconductor materials and their performance in devices such as optical switches and sensors.
The PhD student awarded with this scholarship will join a multidisciplinary research team, with strong interactions with other research groups and institutions working under the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science (ACEx). The overall mission of ACEx is to examine and manipulate the way light energy is absorbed, transported and transformed in advanced molecular materials.
Open to:
Applicants must have applied for admissions or currently enrolled in for full-time studies in a PhD within the School of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney, and be willing to undertake research in the field of optical spectroscopy. Applicants must also hold an Honours degree (First Class) or a Master’s degree in a related field with a substantial research component, or equivalent.

A unique opportunity is available for an outstanding PhD scholar to undertake research in organic electronics. The aim of the project is to identify design rules for improved organic photovoltaic devices.The project can be tailored for the successful candidate, to range from a purely theoretical study, focusing on multiscale modelling of disordered organic-semiconductor devices to a combination project spanning both theoretical modelling and experimental device characterisation using state-of-the-art spectroscopic facilities.
The project will be co-supervised by Dr Girish Lakhwani and Dr Ivan Kassal in the School of Chemistry and the University of Sydney. The candidate will have access to outstanding research facilities, including the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science and the University of Sydney Nano Institute (including the Grand Challenge project in Computational Materials Discovery).
Successful candidates may be eligible to apply for a top-up scholarship from the Grand Challenge in Computational Materials Discovery, valued at up to $20,000.
