Are you a postgraduate student with an interest in public policy, the environment, science and
technology, natural resources, foreign affairs and defence, social policy, law, statistics or economics?
Would you like to apply your research skills in the parliamentary environment?

The Parliamentary Library offers 2 Summer Research Scholarships for postgraduate students each year.
Scholars work alongside specialist researchers in the Parliamentary Library in Canberra for a period of 6 weeks
(January – February 2023) to produce a report on a topic of relevance to the Library’s research program.

The Parliamentary Library is a unique research environment. It provides high-quality information, analysis and
advice to senators and members in support of their parliamentary and representational roles, as well as to their
staff, the staff of committees, and the Governor-General.

The Summer Research Scholarship allows scholars to understand and work within this important national
institution.
It also gives recipients the opportunity to:
• build research expertise
• contribute to scholarship on the Parliament and its work
• receive training and access the Library’s specialist collections and databases
• interact with subject matter experts
• be guided by a mentor who will provide advice during the scholarship.
Upon successful completion of the scholarship, scholars are paid an honorarium of $1,800.
