[Hollow, Robert (CASS, Marsfield)]

Dear Colleagues

Please pass this along to interested students.

Applications now open for the 2020/21 CASS Undergraduate Vacation Scholarships.


CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science (CASS) Undergraduate Vacation Scholarships run over the Australian summer holidays and offer high achieving and promising undergraduate students the opportunity to collaborate with leading CASS scientists and engineers 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 23 November 2020 to 12 February 2021 (although there may be some flexibility). Scholars will also undertake an observing trip to the Australian Telescope Compact Array in Narrabri, NSW.

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.

CSIRO Astronomy and Space (CASS) have a long and successful history in the space sector from radio astronomy research, managing complex facilities and observing Earth from above to supporting data and manufacturing supply chains.
