Vacation Scholarships

Ever wanted to find out what research is really like? Vacation Scholarships provide paid opportunities for undergraduates to work on their own research project in animal behaviour during the summer. They are a great way to get some laboratory and field experience, and can help you decide on your future career path.

You will be guided and supervised by Centre members in the design of your experiments, collection of data, analysis, and possibly even writing up your study for publication in a journal! However, the research will be done by you, and you will be encouraged to think independently about the direction of your project.

Vacation scholarship opportunities are usually advertised between January and April for work over the June-September period. Keep an eye on our news for information on opportunities and deadlines.
