2010 Summer Students

For 2010 ICRAR offered eight student internships to outstanding applicants from Australia and New Zealand, four of which were co-funded with iVEC for projects with computational elements.

Applications were sought from students who had completed at least two full years of their undergraduate studies in physics, astronomy or a relevant engineering discipline. Successful applicants will join ICRAR for a 10 week period over December 2010 to February 2011.
