CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral and Engineering Fellowships

The CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral and Engineering Fellowships are cohort-style fellowships that place early-career researchers within CSIRO research units, Future Science Platforms, and national facilities. The program provides recent PhD and engineering master graduates with research training, professional development, and opportunities to work in multidisciplinary teams on science, engineering and digital challenges. Fellowships are three years full-time (with a minimum of two years in special circumstances) and include a structured learning, development and training plan to develop capabilities towards independent research and leadership.

Three-year full-time fellowship (minimum two years in special circumstances); research training, career development program, and a CERC Learning, Development and Training Plan; opportunities to work in world-class laboratories and multidisciplinary teams.

CERC Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to applicants who hold a PhD or have submitted a doctoral thesis awaiting conferral. CERC Engineering Fellowships require an engineering degree plus a Master of Science or Master of Engineering and equivalent research and development contributions. Total relevant work experience since confirmation of the doctorate must not exceed six full-time equivalent years upon completion of a CERC Fellowship. Overseas applicants may be sponsored if eligible for an Australian work visa; appointment is subject to immigration and security assessments.
