CSIRO Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Postgraduate Scholarships

CSIRO

At CSIRO, we solve the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology.

Over nearly a century, we've been improving the lives of people everywhere with our science. We’ve advanced Australia with a range of inventions and innovations that have had significant positive impact on the lives of people around the world, like fast WiFi, polymer banknotes, the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet and Aerogard.

The opportunities we are offering   There are several types of postgraduate studentships available at CSIRO:   

• **CSIRO Sponsored Postgraduate Studentships: **CSIRO pays a primary scholarship stipend and/or top-up stipend, provides funding for learning and development and ensures operating expenses are available for a postgraduate student working on a CSIRO-defined project. 
• CSIRO-University Co-funded Postgraduate Studentships: CSIRO and a university co-fund a primary and/or top-up scholarship for a postgraduate student working on a co-funded collaborative CSIRO-University project. Funding for learning and development and for operating expenses for the student to undertake the research should be provided by the university and/or by CSIRO. 
• **CSIRO Supervised-only Postgraduate Studentships: **CSIRO provides the postgraduate student with access to facilities and/or expertise to complete work that directly contributes to their PhD or Master thesis. The student should be a recipient of an external primary scholarship, usually from their university, or self-funded. CSIRO may provide operating expenses.  Other postgraduate studentship opportunities available
• **Industry PhD (iPhD) Studentships: **The student undertakes a PhD project identified with, and supervised by, an industry partner. The iPhD program is offered in partnership with CSIRO, a university and an industry partner. The student is provided a primary scholarship stipend (Research Training Program (RTP) or equivalent), a top-up stipend, funds for learning and development and operating expenses. 
• CSIRO Postgraduate Internships: Are university approved internships where CSIRO supervises a postgraduate student working on a short-term CSIRO-defined project for work experience as part of their degree. Internships may be for coursework Master students completing a subject requiring an internship, and postgraduate research students undertaking a university approved internship.
