[ASA] 2019 CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science Undergraduate Vacation Scholarship Applications Now Open

[Hollow, Robert (CASS, Marsfield)]

Dear Colleagues

Applications now open for the 2019/20 CASS Undergraduate Vacation Scholarships.


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 be able to work on a real world project and expand their skills and knowledge while exploring ways to solve a real world problem. Placements are full time and will be from 25 November 2019 to 7 February 2020 (although there may be some flexibility). Scholars will also undertake an observing trip to the Australian Telescope Compact Array in Narrabri, NSW in January 2020.

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.
