If you are
interested in a PhD project being offered you should initially make
contact with the listed supervisor to discuss what the project
might entail and how your strengths and interests can be
accommodated. Then, if the supervisor agrees to support your
candidature, and you would like to apply for a scholarship you must
submit a
cover letter of no more than two pages stating which project you
are interested in applying for, and also addressing the following
selection criteria:
- Evidence of suitable qualifications and an interest in research
and development.
- Demonstrated interest in conservation and/or agricultural
production.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate in oral and written form at
a variety of levels.
You should include a curriculum vitae plus contact
details of 3 referees and the most up-to-date
academic record available at the time of applying (and details of
when your results will become available if you have not yet
graduated).
Don't forget to include your contact details.
We also require that
candidates apply for university and APA scholarships, which will
both be administered by the chosen university. The listed
supervisor for your project will be able to assist you in writing
your application. To aid your application, the CRC will provide you
with a letter of support indicating our willingness to provide a
top-up scholarship should you receive a university or APA
scholarship.
Please contact the Program
Coordinator for the Education Program when your application is
complete and you require this letter.
Should you win one of our
scholarships (worth approx. $19,000), the CRC will guarantee to top
the scholarship up to $25,000 tax-free. If you do not win a
university or APA scholarship, the CRC may fully fund your
scholarship. However, these places are limited and competition for
them is strong.
Please send separate
applications if you are applying for more than one
project.
Applications should be sent
