John Stocker Postgraduate Scholarships, Newest Scholarships 2011

Overview

Funding is available for four John Stocker Postgraduate Scholarships, each for a three year period, for research in ICT, mathematics or engineering and/or SIEF’s priority research areas commencing in 2012.

In 2012 the priority research areas are:

* Astronomy / Astrophysics;

* Environmental Informatics;
* Exploration Geoscience;
* Genomics / Epigenomics; and
* Mathematics and Network Science.

In 2012, the recipient scholar must have at least 3 years' previous work experience in the relevant industry. The intent is to encourage those in the workforce to return to study to further their qualifications.
Application and Selection Process

The 2012 Application Form is available here. Applications will only be accepted from Research Offices or equivalent and must be submitted electronically to postgrad@sief.org.au.

The application process will be undertaken by the CSIRO OCE Science Team as a service-provider to SIEF. A panel of experts drawn from universities and publicly funded research agencies will assess the proposals and select research projects in which Postgraduate Scholarships will be placed. Final determination of the successful proposals will be made by the Trustee and grants will be made under a Funding Agreement with the Trustee of the SIEF.

The process of awarding Scholarships will begin with a call for applications. The application, which must be submitted via the lead organisation Research Office, will identify the eligible PhD candidate, the proposed project, lead organisation and supervisor together with any other collaborating partners.
