Faculty of Engineering Career Advancement Award

The Faculty of Engineering Career Advancement Award is a PhD Completion Award designed to provide PhD students in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Sydney the opportunity to improve their publication record while in advance of their oral examination. This award has been established to enable students who have shown strong potential to pursue positions in academia and/or industry, through the opportunity to complete a project or improve their publication record in advance of their oral examination. The award is funded by the Faculty of Engineering and provides financial support for up to 6 months to help students strengthen their research outputs and career prospects. Recipients must be enrolled in a Doctor of Philosophy degree within the Faculty of Engineering, must be under examination, and must have chosen 'Oral examination' as their mode of examination for their thesis. The successful recipient is expected to commit to work on their research outputs for the duration of the Award and not to be engaged in full-time employment, and is expected to remain in Australia to conduct their research whilst receiving this Award.
