Up to Eight Scholarships in Financial Markets for 2009
We are seeking students intending to pursue Honours or Masters degrees in one, or more of:
The Capital Markets Cooperative Research Centre (CMCRC) focuses on research which provides a better understanding of financial markets (their operation and their price behaviour) and research which facilitates the provision of technology solutions to create better capital markets locally, regionally, and globally.
Programmes are currently focussed in the areas of market design including market microstructure, security pricing, automated trading, and market surveillance, also in data mining including language technology iand visualisation. We are keen to encourage interaction across these areas between researchers in finance and information technology.
Applications are invited for full-time scholarships to support honours, or research masters, studies. We seek highly motivated and enthusiastic students from the disciplines above, who wish to work in the area of financial markets and who are likely to go on to study for a PhD. We anticipate that up to eight offers may be made, dependent on the calibre of the applicants and the fit with the CMCRC research programmes.
Applicants should expect to achieve a 1st class honours degree, or an equivalently strong Masters degree (by research) in one of the disciplines listed above. Applicants should have an outstanding academic record. The successful applicants must be enrolled at an Australian university, in a relevant discipline that offers an honours degree, the degree must have a significant research component and the student’s topic must be relevant to CMCRC areas of research activity. Scholarships are available to students enrolled at any Australian university. However, preference will be given to students enrolled in CMCRC member universities and working under the supervision of CMCRC researchers.
Subject to satisfactory performance, scholarships are tenable for one year. Scholarships are worth $5,000. The scholarship is payable in two instalments $2,500 during first semester and $2,500 on submission of a copy of the completed honours/masters thesis to the CMCRC.
