In conjunction with a university or industry-supported scholarship stipend, the SAAFE CRC PhD funding package offers:
- A top-up scholarship stipend (living allowance) of up to $15,000 per year for 3.5 years Full-Time Equivalent
- A professional development funding package of $21,000 per candidate for 3 years
For further information, please contact the SAAFE CRC Education and Training Program Manager, Dr Lisa Kirkland, to learn more about the Scholars Program.
Applications
Applications for SAAFE CRC PhD project proposals are now open.
Like SAAFE projects, PhD proposals should be driven by an identified industry need. Projects can be submitted under 3 categories:
- Student proposed project
- University proposed project
- Co-designed project with university and industry partner
Priority will be given to projects that have an identified industry partner who has been involved in co-designing the project and will benefit from this project’s outputs. Partner commitments can be reinforced by cash and in-kind project cost contributions, as well as advisory/supervisory support.
For projects without an identified industry partner, we can help connect you with potential partners through our Research Advisory Committee to enable project co-design and submission.
SAAFE supports projects that promote early and mid-career researcher development, and gender and cultural diversity. Please keep this in mind when considering potential supervisors.
SAAFE is here to support your project ideas. Contact SAAFE's Education and Training Program Manager Dr Lisa Kirkland to find out more or view the application in PDF form here.
