ANU-UI Research Internship in Computer Science 2019

Background

The ANU-UI Research Internship in Computer Science is an initiative between the Research School of Computer Science (RSCS) at the Australian National University (ANU) and the Faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom) at Universitas Indonesia (UI), that is part of a broader research collaboration between the two universities. Under this Research Internship program, RSCS will host students or staff members from Fasilkom UI to participate in short-term research projects supervised by academic staff at RSCS.

The aims of this program are:

  • to strengthen research collaborations between the universities by engaging staff and students in both universities in joint research projects, and
  • to provide a pathway for UI undergraduate students, or UI staff who have not held doctoral degrees, to be considered for admission in the ANU PhD program. The PhD admission at RSCS requires the candidates to have an equivalent of ANU Bachelor’s degrees with Honours. A successful completion of the summer research program may be considered as having completed the equivalent of a 12 credit unit research project, which is a minimum requirement for admission into ANU PhD program.

Eligibility

For the initial phase, we will consider hosting 5 (five) scholars from UI. These will comprise of at least 3 (three) undergraduate students enrolled in Fasilkom UI in their final year of study. Fasilkom UI staff will be eligible to participate in this program subject to this minimal quota for students, so at the maximum, we will consider admitting 2 (two) UI teaching/research staff who do not yet hold a PhD degree.

The number and the composition of the eligible scholars are subject to change in the future depending on availability of funding and supervisors.

The UI student applicants should be enrolled or plan to enroll in the final year project course at UI, since the intention of the program is to encourage students to undertake further research degrees.

Applicants should have GPA of at least 3.2 (out of 4), which is the equivalent of ANU First Class Honours.

Funding and duration of the program

ANU will cover local accommodation costs, local transports and incidental costs of the scholars. ANU will help the scholars in securing accommodation in Canberra.

The scholars are expected to find funding to cover their return airfares. In extenuating circumstances, we may consider covering airfares for exceptional students. The determination of who may be eligible will be decided on a case-by-case basis. The scholars are expected to arrange for their own travel insurance.

Procedure

The application for the Research Internship program must be done through the online application website at:

http://tiny.cc/anu-ui-intern-2019

Application is open on June 18th, 2019 and closes on July 15th, 2019.

The list of supervisors and research projects available for this round of application is given in the attached file. Each applicant is allowed to indicate, through the online application form, three (3) projects they are interested to apply to.

The applicants must also send the following supporting documents separately to studentexp.cecs@anu.edu.au:

  • Curriculum vitae
  • The most up-to-date transcript
  • Two academic referee reports

The outcome of the selection process will be announced on July 23rd, 2019. Successful applicants will be provided with further information on the onboarding process.

Assessment

The scholars will be required to write a 2-page report and to give presentations at ANU at the conclusion of their projects, but there will be no official credits given or assessment done from the ANU side. However, undergraduate students who are taking a final year project course (‘Tugas Akhir’) at UI may consider writing up a research report on their work at ANU, to be evaluated by UI as per normal evaluation process at UI. ANU supervisors or coordinator will assist in the evaluation should it be deemed necessary.

Visa requirement

The scholars are responsible for arranging the appropriate visas (if required) to visit Australia. The ANU contact person (see Contact) will assist in providing supporting documentations relating to the purpose of the visits.
