NCCARF- Terrestrial Biodiversity Network PhD collaborative travel grantsNCCARF is an initiative of the Federal Government, based at Griffith University’s Gold Coast Campus. The key roles of NCCARF include establishing and maintaining adaptation research networks to assist in information transfer to end users and linking together researchers across Australia who have interests in climate change adaptation research. The student funding described here are available from the NCCARF – Terrestrial Biodiversity Network (hosted at James Cook University) and are to encourage research that will facilitate adaptation to a changing climate that will help protect Australia’s terrestrial biodiversity. The primary goal of the Terrestrial Biodiversity network is to develop explicit and practical strategies that increase the resilience of terrestrial ecosystems and maximise their adaptive potential under climate change. The research priorities of this network are to collate knowledge, co-ordinate expertise and synthesise these inputs into recommendations and frameworks that will guide the way forward for Australia to adapt to global climate change. Applicants should make sure that the proposed research explicitly addresses adaptation and not be purely impacts research.

Warning to students - mule scamsAttention is invited to the information below which was distributed to all students via an email from Student Services recently. "Banks and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are warning university students about money mule scams when seeking holiday employment. The Australian Bankers' Association (ABA) and the AFP have prepared a fact sheet, 'Warning to students - don't get caught by mule scams'. It warns students of the scams which trap them into laundering money for criminals by becoming a money mule. The fact sheet contains some useful tips on how to avoid these scams including being cautious about accepting job opportunities that offer you the chance of making money simply by moving money in and out of any bank account, never providing confidential banking details to anyone and taking steps to verify the background of any company or person that make you a job offer. More tips can be read in the fact sheet at these websites: Future Research Leaders ProgramThis world-first leadership program has been developed collaboratively by the Go8 universities, and is delivered in full each semester for the benefit of the research community of the University of Adelaide.
