Undergraduate Studentships at CSIROOur undergraduate studentships offer students exciting opportunities for you to gain experience in a scientific environment.
CSIRO offers Undergraduate Vacation Studentships which run over the Australian summer holidays and offers high achieving and promising university students the opportunity to collaborate with leading CSIRO researchers in their world class facilities.
These prestigious studentships are highly sought after. Every year over 100 opportunities are offered to eligible undergraduate students in a number of disciplines.
Studentships offer students and opportunity to work on a real project in science, technology, or a related field such as science communication. Placements are full time and typically begin in late November or early December and can be from 8 - 12 weeks in length.
Successful applicants are able to expand their skills and knowledge and there are often opportunities for formal and informal training and development during their time at CSIRO. Students are usually required to write a report on their work experience and will have the opportunity to present their vacation project to their peers at the end of the studentship.
Vacation students are paid a stipend and, in some cases, may also receive a contribution towards travel and accommodation costs.
To be considered for a Vacation Studentship, students:
- need to be enrolled at an Australian University;
- will have completed not less than three years of a full-time (or equivalent) undergraduate degree at commencement of the studentship, however exceptional second year students may be considered;
- will have a strong academic record (credit average or higher);
- must intend on pursuing a research career in science or technology, or a career in a related discipline; and
- will need to be available to undertake a full-time placement for 8-12 weeks over the university summer vacation period.
Senior students considering a career in the sciences or technology might like to keep this program in mind. The CSIRO also offers Undergraduate Traineeships that might be of interest too.
