The Bushfire CRC is calling for outstanding postgraduate students to be part of a dynamic national bushfire research program for safer communities and ecological sustainability, investigating areas such as fire behaviour, management of fire in the landscape, and social and economic aspects of bushfire.
We seek students with strong academic records and relevant experience who are keenly interested in pursuing a PhD with a view to researching key issues for fire and land management agencies around Australia and New Zealand.
The Bushfire CRC is offering outstanding postgraduate students access to:
-
Full Scholarships of $28,000 per annum over 3 years, and

Top Up Scholarships (for APAs and University scholarships) of $10,000 per annum over 3 years.
