Geology, Information Sciences/Systems, Physics, and Public Health are eligible disciplines. Residents or citizens of Australia are not eligible for the program. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or other terminal degree. Applicants must submit a Project Statement, a CV or Resume, two Letters of Recommendation, and A Letter of Invitation from DST.
