Finding a suitable PhD in Australia

Many of the universities and institutes in Australia advertise their PhD projects on their own websites, but they can be hard to find and in the end a lot only provide very succinct overviews. There are more than 60 universities in Australia, on top of that number many more research institutes and not all providers of PhD studentships advertise their vacancies on-line anyway. Hunting down a suitable PhD in Australia can be a long and tiresome process.

PhDSeek.com aims to make the task of finding a PhD in Australia a little easier. By having created a single website that lists Australian PhDs in the one place and by discipline, its aim is to make the laborious, time consuming effort of finding a suitable PhD or establishment to conduct one at, a little easier.

The website has been online since the beginning of 2008 and has slowly established a collection of listings from a number of university and research institute departments. In addition to the extra publicity the website provides PhD openings, it acts as an easy tool for project supervisors and school administrators to use when they wish to further market their projects and departments. It has a simple to use user interface, a generous selection of disciplines to within which PhDs can be classified and on top of that, the listings which are completely free to publish are valid for 12 months.

June to September are the main times of the year when projects for the start of the following year become open for applications. Indeed, from recent website activity it would seem these are also shaping up to be busy months for PhD hunters too.
