About this position

CSIRO Agriculture and Food is offering two PhD scholarships focused on grazing livestock research at the F.D. McMaster Laboratory site in Armidale, New South Wales. The opportunities support doctoral research connected with pastoral livestock systems and provide access to CSIRO scientists, mentors, facilities and research expertise.

Available projects address important challenges in sustainable and productive livestock production, including:

  • Evaluating tree plantings for productive and sustainable grazing systems.
  • Developing a climate-resilient feedbase for future livestock systems.
  • Precision monitoring of livestock–pasture interactions.

The projects are supported through trust funds associated with the F.D. McMaster Laboratory, including the Ian McMaster Bequest and the William McIlrath Trust. Research is situated within CSIRO’s Livestock and Aquaculture research program and its broader Agriculture and Food research environment, where doctoral researchers can engage with national science capabilities and first-class facilities.

The scholarships are designed for students pursuing research in science and engineering fields relevant to grazing livestock and pastoral agriculture.

Funding details

The scholarship provides a top-up of AUD 12,000 per annum for three years, plus AUD 8,000 per annum in operating funds for research expenses, professional development and travel. One six-month extension may be possible with approval. In exceptional circumstances, the Ian McMaster Bequest scholarship may be awarded as a full scholarship.

What's required

Applicants must be Australian or New Zealand citizens, Australian permanent residents, or international students with appropriate immigration approvals. Applicants must be enrolled as full-time PhD students at an Australian university; part-time arrangements may be considered with supervisory-team and university approval, with the scholarship adjusted pro rata. Applications should demonstrate academic excellence, relevant training or work experience, and alignment with the Livestock and Aquaculture research program. A national police check and potentially other security, medical or character checks may be required.

How to apply

Apply through the CSIRO jobs portal. Submit a combined Resume/CV and Cover Letter in the Resume/CV field, stating the chosen project, interest, relevant skills and motivation for a grazing-livestock PhD. Upload academic records and achievement documentation in the Cover Letter field.
