The CSIRO Industry PhD program aims to increase research-industry workforce mobility and build research talent. Through the CSIRO Industry PhD program, students undertake a research project developed in collaboration with, and jointly supervised by, an industry partner, a university researcher, and a CSIRO researcher.
HDR Candidates receive a stipend of $47,020 p.a (2025 rate) – the industry partner needs to contribute $12,000 p.a., while the Govt contributes $35,020 p.a. The scheme is only open to Domestic HDRs.
Round 2 expressions of interest are open until 23 August 2024 for projects to commence in 2025.
Under CSIRO iPhD Program rules industry partners can include not-for-profits and government-owned entities where they can demonstrate alignment with program objectives. For further information, please see the revised program rules, program fact sheet or visit www.csiro.au/iPhD.
