[ASA] ANU - RSAA Summer Research Scholarships 2019-2020

[Trevor Mendel]

Dear colleagues,


Applications are now open for the 2019-2020 Summer Research Scholarships at the

Australian National University's Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics. I

would be grateful if you could draw this scheme to the attention of your

undergraduate students, and encourage them to apply.


The closing date for applications is 31st August 2019.


The SRS program provides an exceptional opportunity for undergraduate students

to get a taste of graduate life by participating in a research project under the

supervision of staff at Mount Stromlo Observatory. The program will last for

approximately 9 weeks from 25th November 2019 to 24th January 2020 (TBC).


A Summer Research Scholarship at RSAA includes full accommodation and board on

the ANU campus, a weekly allowance, and return travel to Canberra. The Research

Scholarship provides a chance to do active research with Astronomers. Scholars

are given training on writing scientific reports and giving presentations, and

are usually also given the opportunity to visit the telescopes and facilities at

Siding Spring Observatory, Parkes and Narrabri. The program is open to suitably

qualified undergraduate students in the third or final year of their degrees who

are currently enrolled at an Australian or New Zealand university. Outstanding

second-year students may also be considered.
