Apply for a CSIRO Vacation Scholarship today!
Our Undergraduate Vacation Scholarships are run over the Australian summer holidays and offer high achieving and promising undergraduate students the opportunity to collaborate with leading CSIRO scientists in our world class facilities.
Students will have the chance to work on a real project in science, engineering or a related field such as science communication. Placements are full time and will be from 8 to 12 weeks duration between 26 November 2018 and 8 February 2019 (although there may be some flexibility). Scholars will undertake an observing trip to the Australian Telescope Compact Array in Narrabri, NSW in January 2019.
Participation in the Vacation Scholarship Program has influenced previous scholarship holders in their choice of further study and future career options. Many have gone on to pursue a PhD in CSIRO or to build a successful research career within CSIRO, a university or industry.
Applications must be made online and close on 6 August 2018.
