Summer
Research Scholarships in RSBS
RSBS enthusiastically participates in the Summer Research
Scholarship program.
Summer Research Scholarships are designed for talented
students considering undertaking postgraduate research
in the future. They are an excellent opportunity to
work with distinguished researchers, utilising facilities
and materials not readily available elsewhere.
Who can apply?
The scholarships are intended for students currently enrolled in Australian and New
Zealand universities completing the third or fourth year
of a full-time course leading to an honours degree.
The duration of the scholarship is normally between
eight and eleven weeks, commencing between late-November
and early December and concluding in early February.
What do Summer Research
Scholars do?
In RSBS Summer scholars work closely with an academic
supervisor in the laboratory on a research topic of
their choice. At the conclusion of the research project
summer scholars submit a brief report on their findings.
Students have a unique opportunity to work with researchers
in RSBS who are international leaders in their fields.
The summer research scholarship also allows students
to experience a specialist research environment first-hand.
What does
the scholarship entail?
A scholarship provides a contribution towards travel
expenses to and from Canberra based on economy rail
fares at student concession rates (or, for people from
more distant parts of Australia, and New Zealand, economy-class
airfares), accommodation and all meals at a residential
college on campus and a weekly stipend of $135 (2008/9 rate). Summer Scholars are generally
all accomodated at Burgmann College, where a program
of social activities is conducted for summer students.
