Applying for ILWS PhD Scholarships

Postgraduate scholarships in 2012 – Wetland research in the Lachlan Valley

ILWS is seeking highly motivated candidates to undertake wetland research in the Lachlan Valley in NSW. We expect to have 4 postgraduate scholarships available from the beginning of 2012 for suitable students to join a team of established wetland/river researchers with national and international experience. The research will focus on wetland inventory and characterisation, conceptual modelling and vegetation responses to water flows, and adaptive management. Please contact Ms Nikki Scott (tel 02-6051 9992, email ilws@csu.edu.au) to register your interest.

These scholarships are available to Australian residents only.

Each year the Institute for Land, Water and Society awards research higher degree scholarships to students keen to work in targeted research areas. Prospective postgraduate research students are invited to apply for scholarships annually.  Research topics include socio-economic, socio-cultural and/or ecological issues associated with ILWS strategic research areas. Projects need not be multi or interdisciplinary, but proposals that encompass integrated approaches will be viewed favourably.
