CUAVA Research Scholarship

About this scholarship

The ARC Training Centre for CubeSats, UAVs, and Their Applications (CUAVA) is providing several research scholarships for outstanding PhD and/or master's scholars at the Faculty of Science or Faculty of Engineering where the focus of their research is aligned with one or more the centre’s projects. Funded by the Australian Research Council and working with Industry Partners, our mission is to train the next generation of workers in advanced manufacturing, commercial space and UAV applications. Our Research Training Program is intended to be rigorous and innovative and consists of: Up to two courses to be chosen from the student’s area of expertise, and the other in business, management, or law. Up to one-year placement with an industry partner. One start-up/entrepreneurship experience involving being part of a team that identifies and develops a technological, commercialisable solution to a significant space problem and then pitches it to a start-up incubator/accelerator. One flight experience involving participation in our annual UAV or CubeSat flight teams. Each flight experience will involve project design, build, integration, test, and operational work. The Centre’s trained students, postdocs, CIs, PIs, and partner organisations are expected to develop into global players in space-related research, industry, data, and services.
