Year in Industry Scholarships for 2003


Earth Sciences/Chemistry / Environmental Science
2 positions

Earth Science, Chemistry and  Environmental Science students completing their second or third year of university training are invited to apply for an ANSTO Year in Industry Scholarship.  The scholarship provides an excellent opportunity for students to
take one year of industrial training immediately following completion of the 2002 examinations. Successful candidates will be paid a stipend of $27,500 (inclusive of tax and superannuation) for 1764 hours of work within a twelve month period.  
The successful candidates will work for the Human Activities and Climate Change project of the Environment Division, ANSTO.  Students will gain valuable general laboratory experience, and this may include the handling of normal hazardous chemicals and
low-level radioactive materials.  The work areas cover a broad range of tasks in environmental chemistry, both at the fundamental and commercial levels.  Work areas include:
*	Radio-analytical chemistry including high resolution a, b and g radiochemical analysis;
*	Geochronology - 210Pb, 137Cs & U/Th dating, sedimentation and erosion rates;
*	Palaeoecology - Pollen & charcoal analysis;
*	Past Human Impact Studies.  
The positions are considered to be a practical training ground for future chemists and environmental scientists. While the positions will be well supervised, the position will allow a degree of responsibility to be taken.  The candidates must be taking a
degree course majoring in chemistry or environmental science and have completed at least their second year by the end of 2002 and have at least one full year of studies to complete. The scholarship must be undertaken on a full-time basis.
