The University of New South Wales is recruiting three Research Associates to join a collaborative, multidisciplinary team in the School of Built Environment at the UNSW Kensington Campus. Led by Scientia Associate Professor Negin Nazarian, the team is developing urban climate modelling and analysis capability within the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS). The research addresses gaps in the representation of cities in national climate prediction and projection. Deliv...

University of Southern Queensland (Australia) is offering an HDR/PhD scholarship in physics-informed and explainable AI for water security . The project focuses on uncertainty-aware modelling from multisource environmental observations, combining in-situ water-quality measurements, flow data, hyperspectral reflectance, and satellite imagery (including Sentinel and Landsat) accessed through CSIRO’s EASI environment. The research uses real-world CSIRO Aqua-Watch pilots and Hunter Water Corporation...

Questions
Should I email professors before submitting my PhD application?
Yes. A well-targeted email can significantly improve your chances in many research-based programs.
What should I include in my first email to a professor?
A brief introduction, research interests aligned with the professor’s work, CV, and (if available) publication links.
How long should I wait before following up with a professor?
Typically 7–14 days. One polite follow-up is considered acceptable.
Is it better to send the same email to many professors?
No. Personalized emails that clearly match the professor’s research receive far better response rates.
Do I need a full research proposal when contacting professors?
Usually not initially — a short research summary is sufficient unless the professor specifically requests a full proposal.
