The Research School of Biology offers Summer Research Scholarships (SRS) and Summer Research Internships (SRI). ANU students are eligible to apply for a Summer Internship. External (i.e. non-ANU) students from Australia and New Zealand are eligible to apply for a Summer Research Scholarship. Please note that this program has been suspended for 2024.

Summer Research Scholarships and Summer Internships are designed for talented students from ANU and other tertiary institutions considering undertaking postgraduate research in the future. They are an excellent opportunity to carry out research under the supervision of researchers based in the Research School of Biology, utilising facilities and materials not readily available elsewhere.

Successful SRS candidates are awarded a weekly stipend of $150 (total to $1350), travel allowance of up to $1500 plus on campus accommodation and meals. 

Successful SRI candidates are awarded a weekly stipend of $400 (total to $3600) to cover the off campus rental and other associate costs.

All students participating in the program will be invited to participate in a variety of shared social events, workshops and seminars during the summer period.

Equity-based adjustments may be made for Indigenous students or for other reasons aligned to the Education Access Scheme (Equity) Adjustment Schedule. The College of Science will offer fully funded positions to successful applicants.
