The aim of the SEI Honours Research Fellowship is to provide a supportive environment for young researchers while exposing candidates to multidisciplinary approaches to addressing critical environmental issues. The Fellowship program gives candidates unique access to the SEI’s global network of leading environmental scholars, as well as:

• mentoring from a senior academic outside but complementary to the candidate’s discipline to promote multi-disciplinary thinking.
• a bursary of $2,000 towards research costs.
• the opportunity to collaborate on multidisciplinary projects with researchers across the University.
• the opportunity to contribute toward multi-authored articles.
• a hot desk in the SEI office in the Quadrangle (for the duration of the Fellowship).

This scholarship is aimed at providing assistance to Indigenous students undertaking an Honours program aligned with the Sydney Environment Institute’s research areas.
