MRGS News Scholarships
1. Peter Cullen Postgraduate Scholarship
The NSW Government has developed a postgraduate scholarship in honour of the late Professor Peter Cullen AO FTSE. Professor Cullen contributed significantly to a new way of thinking about managing water resources in Australia, and NSW.
"The scholarship will honour the work and achievements of Professor Cullen, supporting those who have been inspired by his leadership and vision for water."
Premier of NSW, Nathan Rees
The program is jointly funded by various New South Wales Government Water Agencies, including the Department of Water and Energy, Sydney Catchment Authority, State Water, Hunter Water Corporation and Sydney Water Corporation. The aim of the scholarship is to:
- improve our understanding of how rivers, groundwater, wetlands and estuaries function and respond to enhanced management
- improve the linkages between aquatic science and water management in NSW
- provide research opportunities in NSW for water specialists.
Funds available
A three year scholarship of up to $20,000 p.a. will be awarded each year in February. Funds totalling $60,000 will be available to the successful student over a three year period, but with prior written request the allocated funds could be extended to a fourth year. The scholarship may form part of a stipend and/or support student research. The scholarship can be used to pay for such things as equipment, field expenses and sample processing. These conditions will be further defined in the scholarship agreement between the NSW Government and the University/Research Organisation.

3. Smuts Visiting Fellowship in Commonwealth Studies 2010-2011
Applications are invited for one or two Smuts Visiting Fellowships in Commonwealth Studies in association with a Visiting Fellowship at Wolfson College to be held during the academic year 2010-2011.
Fellowships are available for research in the field of Commonwealth Studies, including the Commonwealth related aspects of archaeology, anthropology, economics, history, human geography, law, literature, oriental studies, sociology, politics and social psychology. The maximum duration of a Fellowship is nine months, beginning in October 2010, but the Managers would be willing to consider applications requiring less time in Cambridge. Fellowship holders are expected to live in Cambridge for the bulk of their tenure and accommodation is normally offered by Wolfson College. Fellows are expected to advance Commonwealth Studies in Cambridge mainly by pursuing research, but also by taking part in seminars and similar activities within the University. Fellows will have access, by agreement, to the holdings of Faculty and Departmental libraries, to the libraries of the Centres of African Studies and South Asian Studies and to the University Library, which houses the extensive collection of materials relating to the history of the British Empire and Commonwealth formerly housed in the Royal Commonwealth Society Library in London.
Fellows will receive a contribution towards their expenses of £39,920 per annum pro rata for a nine month stay (taken from the 1 October 2008 pay scales). This sum may be reduced to the extent that the Fellow receives income from another source or if the duration of the Fellowship is less than nine months. The contribution to expenses is subject to tax and National Insurance in the UK. However, depending on personal circumstances it may be eligible for Tax exemption following assessment from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. A further sum of up to £6,000 is available towards travel and related costs for a nine month stay. The Managers are not, however, able to provide additional sums for the travel or living expenses of anyone accompanying the Fellow to Cambridge.
Applicants should be members of staff of another University or similar institution outside the UK. They should hold a PhD or, if not, be working at a post-doctoral level. The Managers will give preference to scholars with a distinguished research profile who are nationals or permanent residents of the overseas countries of the Commonwealth and who have active research interests in an area or areas of scholarship falling within the remit of the Smuts Fund as specified above. The Managers expect that applicants would be intending to come to Cambridge to work on a project building on existing research for which a period of residence in Cambridge is demonstrably appropriate, although they would not rule out the initiation of a new piece of work where there is a realistic expectation that it could be completed by the end of the tenure of the Fellowship.
Applicants should write or send an email to the Secretary, Smuts Memorial Fund, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ, UK, kfw20@admin.cam.ac.uk for an application package. Applicants should note that for security reasons neither applications nor references can be accepted via email and should make arrangements accordingly. The closing date for completed applications and references to be received in Cambridge is 27 August 2009 and applications received after this date will be declined. The Managers will appoint Fellows in November 2009 and all applicants will be notified of the result.

11. Go8 offers support to the University of L'Aquila
The Group of Eight today announced it will offer up to eight scholarships to early career researchers in the Italian city of L'Aquila to help them continue their research in Australia while the University of L'Aquila is rebuilt.
In the aftermath of the April 2009 earthquake in L'Aquila which claimed nearly 300 lives and left thousands injured, the university has virtually shut down. Fifty five of those who died were from the university's 23,000-strong student body.
"Most of the university buildings are currently inaccessible and it will take at least 6-12 months before research staff and students will be allowed to access them," said Professor Silvia Bisti, who holds a chair of neuroscience in L'Aquila's Department of Biomedical Science and Technology.
"PhD students and postdoc fellows, particularly in the scientific fields, are the worst affected. The earthquake destroyed their laboratories, making continuation of their research almost impossible."
Professor Anna Tozzi, PVC International Relationships at the University of L'Aquila, said "the Go8 contribution will make an enormous difference, providing not only practical help for researchers to continue their work but also hope for the community."
The Go8 will offer eight one-off scholarships of $5000 each to early career researchers to travel to Australia and spend time conducting research at Go8 member universities.
The scholarships will be administered through the Association for Research between Italy and Australasia (ARIA) and applications will be assessed by an expert panel.
Eligible researchers are those currently enrolled in a research degree at the University of L'Aquila or full-time staff of the university. Preference will be given to PhD students and early career researchers.
Closes: 30 September 2009

Eligible candidates are required to apply in the selection round which coincides with the submission date of their thesis. There are 4 selection rounds per year, which close on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December.
