About the scholarship
QuakeCoRE is New Zealand’s Centre of Research Excellence in earthquake resilience. As part of its research budget, QuakeCoRE has a limited number of PhD scholarships that are available on a contestable basis.
The intent of all QuakeCoRE scholarships is to attract outstanding candidates to undertake PhD research within the scope of activities covered by QuakeCoRE, and increase diversity amongst QuakeCoRE PhD students.
How To Apply
Applications are to be submitted to [email protected] via the intended PhD primary supervisor, who must be willing to sign a contract with QuakeCoRE if the application is successful. All materials must be integrated into one PDF document in the order specified.
Entry requirements
Successful applicants must be able to establish that they will be outstanding PhD researchers, primarily by articulating their exceptional past performance as related to their intended scope of research for their PhD degree. Because of the broad range of skills necessary to excel at research within the scope of QuakeCoRE, and the need to accommodate applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, the assessment criteria below are intentionally broad.
