Apply: CSAR PhD Student Awards
Deadline: 20 January 2024
The Cambridge Society for the Application of Research PhD Student Awards of £1,000 each, are intended to recognise outstanding research with real world application and to assist students to pursue their research or careers. The awards are open to students in any discipline at the University of Cambridge, currently studying for their Ph.D. at the deadline for application.
Selection of applicants will be at the discretion of the CSAR PhD Student Awards Committee. The awards application process for 2024 awards is now open here. The deadline is 23:59 on Saturday 20th January 2024. Candidates will be notified whether they have been shortlisted in February 2024, and we expect interviews for shortlisted candidates to take place in April 2024.
Award winners will be asked to present their work in a 10 minute slot (with questions) at a regular CSAR lecturer evening. Subsequently this presentation will be posted on the CSAR website, unless it contains confidential or unpublished results. They are also expected to submit a short (350 word) report on how the award was used, within nine months of receipt of the award.
If the recipient’s time permits, they may be invited to present their research and inspire students, in schools around Cambridge and/or participate in the selection committee for future CSAR awards.
If Award winners request it, CSAR will endeavour to provide opportunities for personal development and meeting influential professionals in their area of interest, within the University of Cambridge and other organisations. This will also include an opportunity to meet the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research of the University.
Please send any queries, or report any issues arising during your application, to the secretary of the Student Award Committee, Jane Baker, at grants@csar.org.uk
The 2023 awards winners, and some photos of the presentation ceremony, are here.
