paleonet PhD Opportunity for Australian or NZ Citizens



Dorothy Hill PhD Scholarship in Palaeontology

Earth Sciences, University of Queensland

The Dorothy Hill Scholarship for a PhD in Palaeontology at the University of Queensland (Earth Sciences) was established in 2005 by a bequest from the estate of the late Emeritus Professor Dorothy Hill, AC, CBE, who had a long standing association with the University of Queensland which lasted more than 60 years. The object of the scholarship is to provide a stipend to a PhD student at the commencement of their research studies in geology, particularly in the areas of palaeontology, stratigraphy, and sedimentology. The scholarship is tenable for 3 years, but extensions may be granted in exceptional circumstances for a period of up to 6 months. The value and conditions of the scholarship are equivalent to an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA).

There are several projects available immediately in marine palaeontology in the Marine Palaeoecology Laboratory at UQ. Australian or New Zealand students interested in the award should contact Associate Professor John Pandolfi as soon as possible for a 2006 PhD commencement (j.pandolfi@uq.edu.au ).
