Dear Colleagues

Please pass this information on to interested students.

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.
