Experience a real research career first-hand with CSIRO!


The Graduate Fellow Program is a new initiative by CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics which aims to support the mathematical sciences pipeline in Australia and encourage talented students to try out a career in research for two years.

The 2010 Graduate Fellows program will offer a unique opportunity to a handful of talented post-honours students (in the areas of mathematics, statistics, computational science and engineering) the chance to solve real-world problems and experience a research career with CSIRO.

The program duration is 2 years, during which Fellows will be paid a salary as a CSIRO employee. The program will take an apprentice approach, where Fellows will be mentored by leading research scientists and work on a range of exciting projects with the potential for travel to an international conference at the end of the second year.

The Graduate Fellow Program comprises:

  1. a developmental or methodological project that the Fellow will be expected to present on at a reputable conference, ideally an international conference, at the end of their second year;
  2. rotation through three applied projects which are aligned with the developmental project;
  3. mentorship with leading research scientists;
  4. training in presentation, writing skills and media will be provided.
