Vacation Scholarships in the School of Physics, The University of Sydney --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vacation scholarships are offered to currently-enrolled undergraduate students, who are performing at a high academic standard, to enable them to participate in research with one of the research groups in the School of Physics. The maximum duration is 6 weeks within the summer vacation period (December 2009 to February 2010). Applicants are advised to consult the Research web pages (http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/research/ ) for information on the many research areas within the School. They should contact a staff member in the relevant area for advice on possible projects. Scholars will receive a tax-free stipend of $500 per week. All students are encouraged to apply, but preference will be given to undergraduate students in their senior years and those with prior research experience - for example, through the University of Sydney's Talented Student Program or other undergraduate project work. Applications should be made on the form provided on the web page at http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/current/vac_scholarship.shtml and include a 1 page CV, transcript of results (to date) and the names and contact details of two referees.
