Call for applications for the AONSA Young Research Fellowship 2025

Applications to the AONSA Young Rearch Fellowship is open to any young scientist in the Asia-Oceania region within 8 years of the completion of their PhD and who wishes to perform neutron research at major neutron facilities in the region (but not in their home country). Provisional hosting Neutron Facilities in 2025 are ANSTO(Australia), CARR(China), CSNS(China), J-PARC(Japan), and IBR-2 (Russia).

Applications deadline: 15th of September, 2024.

“The purpose of the Asia-Oceania Neutron Scattering Association (AONSA) Young Research Fellowship Program is to support highly talented young scientists with leadership potential in the Asia-Oceania region, helping them to develop their career and expertise in neutron science and technology. The Program will provide financial support for Fellows to visit major neutron facilities in the region for collaborative research using neutrons.”
