Engage a postgraduate research intern
Internships are funded by the industry partner and may attract government funding as well as R&D credits.

Our Schools’ research centres, groups and labs have a national and international impact in their specialist areas. Benefits include connections to outstanding researchers, access to collaborative funding schemes through the Australian Research Council, promotion of outcomes of research, as well as exposure to commercial opportunities.

Tap into the minds and skills of some of the brightest people around. PhD candidates may come from our cohort or from your existing staff.
