Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) Vacation Research Scholarships 2021–22 | Closed | AMSI funds and supports undergraduate students from around Australia to spend their summer holidays (December–February) working on supervised research projects. AMSI VRS is open to intending honours and masters students, and is a fantastic opportunity to broaden academic interests and experience. AMSI Vacation Research Scholars undertake research, build a project, submit a blog, and present to their peers and supervisors at AMSIConnect, the exclusive student conference held in February. Eligibility requirements:

Closed | EQUS' summer research program is a funded opportunity for undergraduate students to get a taste of scientific research and learn new skills. Successful applicants will undertake a defined research project at one of our nodes and have the opportunity to participate in professional development activities. The main objectives of this program are to:
This 2021–22 program is open only to students from underrepresented groups within STEM or who have experienced uncommon hardship. This is in line with our goal of broadening participation of such groups by creating pathways that ensure a more diverse supply of interested and prepared future HDR candidates, and promoting the sustainability of pathways through inclusive recruitment practices and collaborative, cross-institutional networking. For more details see: Summer research program 2021–22 | ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (equs.org). If you have any questions, contact: mentoring@equs.org(link sends e-mail). | |
MQ Photonics Vacation scholarship | Closed | Apply by sending your short CV, academic transcript, name and email of your referee, your preferred topic, and a 100-word summary explaining why you want to do a vacation scholarship. Your application should be emailed to mqphotonics@mq.edu.au by Monday 21 September 2021. The scholoarship is $700 per week tax-free for five weeks – dates to be arranged with supervisor.
