Hosts
BayerBoost requires students to work on
environmental research or restoration related projects with a host
organisation. The student may be involved at whatever level is
appropriate to his or her skills and knowledge.
Host organisations must be:
• Able to take on a student for 10 – 12 weeks
• Able to fulfil all health and safety, insurance
and taxation requirements
• Responsible for the overall supervision of the
student
• Recognised as a suitable organisation for the
scholarship scheme by the Royal Society
For more information on the role and
responsibilities of the host please refer to the Guidelines.
Interested students will be required to
contact a host organisation in the first instance to establish a
project for their scholarship. See the list of host organisations below
and the type of project they offer.
They will then need to make an application
to the Society, which includes their Project Proposal.
Applications will be judged by a selection
panel based on the calibre of the student and the quality of the
project proposal submitted.
If you would like to have your
organisation added to the list of hosts on the BAYERBoost website, then
please contact Debbie Woodhall at the Royal Society on
04 472 7421 or email: bayerboost@royalsociety.org.nz
BayerBoost relies upon host organisations
to make the scheme work. By employing a BayerBoost student you are not
only helping young minds gain valuable work experience, but you could
also be assisting with the restoration and enhancement of our
environment for future generations.

Since the time of Darwin evolution has been the primary
unifying concept in biology. Research within the Ecology, Evolution and
Behaviour Section focuses on the interactions among organisms and their
environment and the altering nature of these interactions across space
and time. It also focuses on the changes that occur at the level of
populations of organisms as a consequence of evolutionary process. Our
research is integrative and multidisciplinary, involves a wide range of
organisms (from viruses to whales), environments (terrestrial and
marine), levels of biological organisation (molecules to ecosystems)
and experimental approaches (from laboratory to field, and from
computer to library); it provides exciting challenges for career-minded
students.
