• Are you passionate about a career in science?
• Want to access CSIRO's world-class facilities and staff?
• Apply for a CSIRO Geological and Bioregional Assessment Postgraduate Top-up Scholarship now!

CSIRO invites applications for top-up Postgraduate Scholarships in a number of priority topic areas for funding commencing in the 2018/2019 financial year.

CSIRO’s Geological and Bioregional Assessment program (GBA) postgraduate top-up scholarships provide enhanced opportunities in science and engineering in the area of cumulative impact assessment for outstanding graduates enrolling in the 2018/19 financial year at Australian tertiary institutions as postgraduates for research leading to the award of a PhD. Students are co-supervised by researchers in an Australian university and CSIRO. 

The GBA program seeks to support the development of multi-disciplinary assessments to provide government, industry and the community with robust, scientific knowledge to manage future shale and tight gas development.

Top up Postgraduate Scholarships are available to postgraduate students enrolled full-time at an Australia university and who have obtained (or expect to gain) a Research Training Program (RTP) scholarship or its equivalent. While normal expectation is that scholarships will be full time, they may be converted from full-time to part-time where CSIRO agrees that there are compelling reasons for this and the RTP scholarship, if any, is also converted to part-time.

Scholarship:         Top-up scholarships valued at $7,500 per year, plus a generous operating budget of $7,500 per annum
