CSIRO is Australia’s national science organisation with over 6,500 staff located across the country. It is one of the largest and most diverse research organisations in the world, with its research delivering solutions for agribusiness, the environment, information and communication technologies, health, advanced materials and manufacturing, minerals and energy, services, transport and infrastructure.

CSIRO is this year offering Postgraduate Scholarships under our Corporate program and under the Flagship Collaboration Fund to provide prospective students with the opportunity to undertake post graduate research aligned with National Research Priorities in partnership with CSIRO. Top-up scholarships are available to PhD students who have gained (or expect to gain) an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) or equivalent. In certain circumstances, full scholarships are also available.

The Corporate Post Graduate Scholarship program is offering 20 scholarships in the following areas:

• 2006/1560 Developing antivirals for Bioterrorism Agents
