The J. W. Gottstein Memorial Trust is pleased to open the 2011 Gottstein Forest Industry Scholarships to undergraduate or postgraduate students undertaking degree or diploma courses in forestry, forest science or wood science. The scholarships are worth $5,000 per annum to each successful applicant for up to three years, and may be used to meet living, relocation and education-related expenses.

The Joseph William Gottstein Memorial Trust Fund was established in 1971 as a national education trust to promote the development of Australia’s forest products industry. Since then the Trust has made a significant contribution to education in the forest industries by granting more than 110 fellowships and several skill awards, and by conducting courses in wood science for those new to the industry.

The Forest Industry Scholarships were initiated in 2010 in recognition of the need for greater support to students in order to increase the skills base to further advance the industry.

The Trust will determine the award based on criteria such as commitment to the fields of forestry or the forest products industry through academic and professional achievements and career goals. The criteria may vary, but will remain consistent with the Gottstein Trust’s key principle to promote the development of the Australian forestry and forest products industry. Applicants for scholarships should familiarise themselves with and address this principle in their applications. Before scholarships are awarded, applicants are required to demonstrate satisfactory progress in, or for new students acceptance to, their respective courses.

Since European settlement, Australia has seen one of the highest rates of mammal extinction in the world. Many of the small mammals that became extinct had important ecological functions, and our understanding of these effects on ecosystem structure and dynamics is poor. A project to reintroduce the Eastern bettong (Bettongia gaimardi), that went extinct on the mainland but survived in Tasmania, provides a unique opportunity to study the role such ‘ecosystem engineers’ can play is restoring temparate woodland ecosystems. This is a major collaborative project between the ACT Government, Australian National University, CSIRO and the James Hutton Institute (Scotland). We are seeking applications from highly qualified and motivated candidates to undertake the following PhD projects:

Scholarship 1 – Ecosystem engineering: how do bettongs affect the soil water and nutrient cycle and plant diversity in box-gum grassy woodlands? The aim of this project will be to examine how bettongs change soil condition and plant diversity.

Scholarship 2 – Restablishing ecosystem engineers: how do ecosystem conditions affect re-introduced bettongs? The aim of this project will be to examine the optimum approaches for re-establishing bettongs in the wild.


The successful candidates will have backgrounds and interests in environmental science and management, ecology or similar. Specialist skills relevant to the subject of each PhD project, including experience in field ecology, will be a distinct advantage. First class Honours (or equivalent academic and professional qualifications) is a prerequisite for appointment. Interested individuals are invited to submit a CV and a brief statement of their interests and ideas in this area of research and to discuss these with the contact below. An expert supervisory panel that matches the skills of the successful applicant will be provided.

Applicants should be citizens of New Zealand or Australia (or Australian permanent residents); international applicants may apply however they must be able to demonstrate a source of support for tuition fees.
