Graduate Programs for Radio Astronomy

[forestmine]

Hello all,

I'm trying to compile a list of schools (mainly in the US) that offer Ph.D. programs with research in radio astronomy.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

Caltech
Cornell
Harvard
New Mexico Tech
Ohio State University
UC Berkley
UC Los Angeles
UC Santa Cruz
University of Arizona
University of Chicago
University of Iowa
University of Maryland
University of New Mexico
University of Texas at Austin
University of Virginia
University of Washington
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Yale

Most of these schools seem to be heavily involved with radio astronomy, whereas in a few cases, I know you can get involved in radio astronomy if you know the right people, though it's not a large constituent. I've looked around google and the likes, so I'm interested to see what other people know of at this point.

Thanks!

If you are also interested in millimeter/submillimeter, you could add Illinois and Rutgers to that list.

As a scientist in the field of radio astronomy, I can confirm that the list of schools you have compiled is indeed a great starting point for anyone interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in this field. These universities are well-known for their strong research programs in radio astronomy and have produced many successful graduates in this area.

In addition to these schools, there are also other options for graduate programs in radio astronomy, such as the University of California at Santa Barbara, the University of Arizona, and the University of Colorado at Boulder. It's important to do thorough research on each program to find the best fit for your interests and goals.

Furthermore, I would also suggest looking into the specific research areas and faculty members at each university. Some may have a stronger focus on certain aspects of radio astronomy, such as instrumentation or data analysis, while others may have a more broad approach. It's important to find a program that aligns with your interests and allows you to work with experienced and knowledgeable faculty members.

Overall, I am pleased to see the growing interest in radio astronomy and the availability of graduate programs in this field. With the continuous advancements in technology and the increasing importance of radio astronomy in our understanding of the universe, I believe that pursuing a Ph.D. in this area will open many exciting opportunities for future research and discoveries. Best of luck in your search for a graduate program in radio astronomy!
