Scholarships
The Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre (IA CRC)
offers a range of very exciting postgraduate opportunities.
Our students conduct cutting-edge, practical research in a
stimulating and supportive intellectual environment.
Their research projects cover disciplines as varied as
ecology, economics, veterinary science, psychology, business and
mathematical modelling. Management of invasive animals is a complex
process that requires people with differing goals to work towards
common conservation and or agricultural outcomes. Management
of wildlife or pest species can involve highly technical science,
but also people skills, business acumen and many other
issues.
Our PhD students receive scholarship support for up to
four years, rather than the more usual three. This enables them to
conduct longer-term studies and also to undertake customised skills
training in such areas as leadership, experimental design and
analysis, communications and intellectual property
management.
Our PhD students enjoy a scholarship at the upper end of
those available (A$ 25,000 tax free in 2006). Their projects
are also supported financially and logistically by existing CRC
research programs. They have supervisors from industry as
well as their host university (CRC Partner universities listed
below) and at least once a year they come together to share their
experiences.
In many cases our scholarships are supported directly by
industry. With industry support, CRC mentoring and more skills
training than their peers, we expect our postgraduates to be highly
competitive in the job market and to become the research leaders of
the future.
