Applications are open for the 2020 Queensland-Smithsonian Fellowship Programme and Science Minister Leeanne Enoch is urging those interested in working at the world’s largest research and museum complex to apply, saying:
“This fellowship program is a fantastic opportunity for Queensland researchers and educators to exchange skills and knowledge with their international colleagues across the natural sciences, arts and education disciplines.”
She said the state government will provide the necessary funds for successful candidates to travel to the complex, where they will collaborate and work with top researchers for a period of up to four months.
Fellowships such as this also offer an ideal opportunity for networking including the exchange of Business Cards to elite members of the industry.
The programme welcomes applications from many Queensland-based organisations including educational, research or cultural agencies such as galleries, museums, schools, government research bodies, and universities.
Current fellows who are set to travel overseas in 2020 are engaged in a number of projects such as improvements in the area of fish migration, providing better access for rural children to top science education, and the protection of migratory birds.
Application details and further information about the Smithsonian Fellowship are available on the Queensland Government website. The deadline for applications is March 9, 2020.Get a Free Quote for Business Cards
