Selection criteria:
Applications will be assessed by a small, cross-disciplinary Advisory Board, made up of academic staff from all divisions of the University with established research reputations on New Zealand conservation issues. The Board reserves the right not to grant the Award should no suitable applicant be available, or when there are insufficient funds available in any given year.
The Diane Campbell-Hunt Memorial Award was established in 2010 with funds raised following the tragic death of Diane Campbell-Hunt in an accident on Mount Taranaki in October 2008.
Diane Campbell-Hunt was a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography, funded by a Tertiary Education Commission Top Achiever Doctoral scholarship. She had completed two-thirds of her PhD programme at the time of her death. Her project looked at the long-term sustainability of fenced sanctuaries in New Zealand in a multi-disciplinary analysis: ecological, economic, social, and governmental.
The intent of this award is to support research on any topic that will contribute to fostering the conservation of New Zealand's plants and animals and the communities they form, including also the social processes involved in conservation, e.g. political, legal, economic and management, and to have the research communicated to a general audience.
Applicants must:
be enrolled and confirmed in a PhD programme or the thesis component of a Master's research programme in any Department or School at the University of Otago
have written a peer-reviewed academic paper that has been accepted for publication in a journal or for presentation at a conference, or a book chapter that has been accepted for publication in a volume of academic peer-reviewed research, which contributes to New Zealand conservation (as defined above), and in which they are the lead author
not have previously been granted the Award
Applications for the award must:
Be accompanied by a copy of the paper for which the award will be made
Be accompanied by the prescribed application form, including a report from the applicant's supervisor or Head of Department on the eligibility of the applicant (including the applicant's contribution to the paper being submitted), and a statement from the applicant that explains (in 500 words or less) the paper's contribution to New Zealand conservation.
Be accompanied by a plan for use of the Award that will further their research, for example support for conference leave, a publication subsidy, or operating costs for further research.
Be submitted to Student Administration (Scholarships) by the specified closing date.
Closing date: 30 June
