Are you wondering what it is like to take part in a Pawsey internship? Check out the internship video below of Siobhon Egan, who is now a PhD Candidate at Murdoch University:
Interns will be partnered with competitively awarded projects. They will work alongside national and/or international supervisors and collaborators.
Interns will also learn from Pawsey Supercomputing Centre staff about good practices of using Pawsey resources, good practices for poster creation/presentation, techniques for business communication, and more.
The Internship program includes virtual induction trainings. Through these trainings, interns will learn more about supercomputing, data management and scientific visualization. They’ll network with other interns and set up a Community of Practice.
As a condition of award, Pawsey Interns will be expected to:
- Be available for the entire duration of the Internship Program
- Attend the virtual training series throughout the internship
- Make satisfactory progress across the internship period
- Submit a project report, present a project poster, and create an experiential video
Requirements
- Vacation students are required to complete a National Police Check (NPC) as part of CSIRO’s on-boarding requirements. The cost of a NPC is between $55 – $72 if obtained via Australia Post or the Australian Federal Police.
