Past Scholarship Schemes
From 2011 to 2022, the CEPAR PhD Supplementary Scholarship scheme has offered students the opportunity to work with and be mentored by senior CEPAR researchers:
CEPAR PhD Supplementary Scholarships
The CEPAR Supplementary Scholarships provided additional support to eligible international and domestic higher degree research students who are in receipt of an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship, National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) or university equivalent scholarship that assisted them with pursuing a program of study related to CEPAR.
Further details are available in the CEPAR Supplementary Scholarship Guidelines.
The CEPAR PhD Supplementary Scholarship Scheme has ended. To see where some of CEPAR's PhD graduates have been placed, visit the Graduate Student Placements webpage.
There are opportunities available to become directly involved in the CEPAR research program by enrolling as an undergraduate honours or summer research student under the supervision of a CEPAR researcher or through employment as a postdoctoral or research fellow.
Emerging researchers not involved directly with the CEPAR research program are invited to participate in a range of initiatives designed to bring students and research fellows together from a variety of disciplines to meet and exchange ideas, including applying for the CEPAR Affiliates Scheme.
CEPAR is committed to the principle of fair and open recruitment and selection processes and CEPAR will consider appropriate Diversity representation when shortlisting for positions.
