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
