PhD Scholarships
Centre for Mathematics and its Applications,

The Centre invites applications for PhD scholarships to work in the Federation fellowship project "exploring the frontiers of feasible computation" under the supervision of Richard Brent.

The aim of the project is to study problems that are close to the boundary between feasible and infeasible, such as integer factorization and discrete logarithm problems that are relevant to public-key cryptography.

The successful applicants will be required to have an honours degree in a related discipline. The scholarship, which must be taken up by 1 March 2006, includes a tax-free stipend of $24,837 pa for 3 years (with a possible 6 month extension) and funding for thesis production.  Candidates should preferably be Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents. However international students may also apply.
