ANSTO announces that applications are now being accepted for Industry foundations scholarship.
Under the auspices of an NSW government funding scheme to establish a five year Graduate Institute 'Industry Foundations Program', ANSTO is awarding a minimum of 5 scholarships in the first year. Graduate students who are working on industry-focused translational research projects in 2020 aligned with ANSTO strategic objectives are invited to apply.
The scholarships include a top-up stipend of $7,500 and approved travel and accommodation support of up to $10,000, depending on location.
Recipients must be graduates of a Bachelor or equivalent degree or higher and be within 5 years of graduation or be undertaking a higher degree by research.
It is anticipated that most recipients will be undertaking a PhD by research hosted by an NSW university and will hold a Research Training Program or similar scholarship.
Where a recipient is enrolled at an Australian or New Zealand university, that university must be a member of the Australian Institute for Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE).
Recipients must spend at least 6 months at an ANSTO facility.
Recipients will work on an industry-focused project aligned with ANSTO strategic objectives, with priority given to translational research projects related to the development of radiopharmaceuticals and their application; defence; fusion; Nuclear Technology capability development; and/or projects which align with one of ANSTO’s strategic research program themes of environment; human health; or the nuclear fuel cycle.
All projects must have a nominated ANSTO supervisor who will be expected to be a formal co-supervisor (as defined by the university) of any recipients that are students at a university.
All projects must have industry support. The nature of the support could include cash or in-kind contributions as well as an indication by the industry partner that the project is a useful undertaking. Priority will be given in accordance with the value of the support indicated.
Applications close 22 November 2019. Full details and a scholarship guide on the Industry Foundations Scholarship page.
