There is an opportunity to get funding through APPF to access plant phenotyping facilities and services at ANU and CSIRO. The application deadline is at the end of November, 2020, but do not hesitate to contact Richard Poirre or Tim Brown at APPF as they can help you put it together and help find the best tool for the experimental design you may have. The Postgraduate Internship Awards (PIA) involve students joining the APPF team as interns, learning about experimental design, and image and data analysis, as they undertake collaborative projects using our cutting-edge plant phenotyping technology. This is an excellent opportunity for students to investigate their plant science questions with the support of the highly skilled APPF team. See more information in the application form.
