CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science 2014 Undergraduate Vacation Scholarship Program. The 2014/15 Vacation Scholarship Program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to work on real-world problems in a leading R&D organisation. 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. Vacation scholarships are intended primarily for students who: * are currently enrolled at an Australian university * have completed three years of a full-time undergraduate course, preferably in science, engineering or computing, however exceptional second year students may be considered. * have a strong academic record (credit average or higher); and * intend to on to honours and/or postgraduate study. Scholarships are for 12 weeks in the period late November 2014 to February 2015. CASS is offering up to eight scholarships for the 2014/2015 program. Each scholar will undertake a research project under the supervision of a CASS staff member. Projects are offered in the areas of astronomy/astrophysics, physics, software engineering, computer science/engineering and electrical engineering. Applications are now open and must be submitted online. Applications close 14 September 2014.

Applications are now open for ICRAR?s 2014 Summer Studentship Program! We?re searching for eight talented undergraduate students to join us over summer to work in astronomy (including, theory, simulations or observational), radio astronomy engineering or data intensive astronomy (ICT). Each studentship comes with a $6,000 scholarship and interstate/NZ students also receive airfares and a 50% accommodation subsidy. Four of our studentships are offered in partnership with iVEC for computational astronomy/data intensive astronomy projects. Applications close on the 5th of September. Studentships are expected to begin on the 1st of December and will consist of ten weeks work and a two week (paid) christmas break. Dates and timing can be flexible for successful students. More details, including an indicative list of projects and the application form are at: www.icrar.org/studentships Please also see the attached poster for further information. Feel free to print it out for noticeboards in your department if appropriate. We?d appreciate your help distributing this within your networks so we have a great pool of students to select from this year.

To be held at CIRA (Curtin University, Perth) on 28-29 October 2014. Please note that the particular focus of the workshop is the application of MWA GLEAM survey data for AGN/RG and SFR studies. However participation is open to all interested in low-frequency radio survey analyses of these objects (I.e. you do not need to be a member of MWA to attend). Please register online at http://www.icrar.org/news/gleam-workshop and feel free to submit contributions (please note that only talks are envisaged, posters could be accommodated if there is demand). Thanks to generous sponsorship from ICRAR, Curtin and via the Department of Premier & Cabinet (Office of Science) there is no registration fee. A full program will be published earlier in October. On behalf of the SOC, I thank you for your interest and trust that you will join us in Perth for a timely discussion.
