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
).
