Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial research Organization (CSIRO): Postdoctoral Fellowships

Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial research Organization (CSIRO)

They boost Australia's potential through excellent science that provides positive economic, environmental and social impacts. Across the organisation, we ensure this continues by embedding their impact model, planning and monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

On a continual basis

Postdoctoral fellowships are designed to equip new graduates to embark on careers as independent researchers:

A single term appointment as a postdoctoral fellow is for up to three years full-time or equivalent. Consecutive appointments as a postdoctoral fellow may be offered, provided that on completion of the second fellowship, the total relevant work experience since confirmation of the doctorate does not exceed six years.
A training and development plan is developed in consultation with the postdoctoral fellow around the time of commencement. Plans generally encompass both on and off job training components and are designed to facilitate the development of the fellow's capabilities to those of expected of an independent researcher. Opportunities will be provided for the fellow to apply those capabilities in their work, as they develop.
The training and development plan will include defined opportunities for formal involvement in research planning, conference attendance, publication and review of scientific papers and fully funded training courses for skills development.

Any

Fellowships are available to PhD graduates who have attained a PhD degree or who have submitted a doctoral thesis and are awaiting results. The study discipline must be related to our research. Applicants must have no more than 3 years of relevant postdoctoral experience at the time of appointment.
