Hamilton Undergraduate Research Scholarships

The NCSR Hamilton Undergraduate Research Scholarship provides students with first-hand experience of a research environment. The Hamilton programme seeks to excite a lasting interest in Science & Technology at all levels of education and increase awareness of NCSR research.

Scholarship projects are drawn from the broad range of research being carried out within the centre. Projects are carried out in NCSR laboratories for a period of two to three months during the summer. Each student is assigned a mentor to supervise and support their work. Students are paid a weekly stipend.

In 2011, the NCSR is offering two Hamilton Research Scholarships for undergraduate science and engineering students. These 10-week scholarships provided students with direct experience of laboratory research, where they were integrated members of a multi-disciplinary team. The programme aims to give students an opportunity to extend themselves intellectually, beyond the limits of degree course and gain valuable experience for their future careers. For more about the 2010 scholars, please click here or see below.

How to Apply:

The 2011 scholarship will commence on 7th June until 12th August 2011. Students will receive a stipend of €300 per week and there are two positions available. Applications will be accepted from full-time 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students pursuing a degree in science/engineering. Please email: the application form, your CV including your educational achievements to date, indicate which project you are interested in carrying out and a short statement (1 page max) outlining why you wish to apply for the Hamilton Programme to: aoife.white@dcu.ie.
