Summer studentships

Summer studentship overview

Get hands on research experience working on your own project in one of the world's leading plant laboratories in Australia's national research agency.

Students can do a CSIRO Plant Industry Summer Studentship, run in collaboration with:

• The Australian Pastoral Research Trust
• the Grains Research and Development Corporation.

Each studentship runs for ten weeks and projects are especially tailored for second and third year university undergraduates.

Every year, the program runs from early December to February, each successful student works alongside a CSIRO research scientist who undertakes to guide the student during their project.

Projects are designed to ensure they provide students the opportunity to learn new techniques and approaches, and to experience the excitement of research science.

At the completion of their studentship students present their results in a public forum and prepare a final report on their findings.
