Has your organisation identified a particular problem that requires investigation through research? Engage with us to co-design a bespoke project-based research degree that will deliver real outcomes to your business or industry more broadly.
Mentoring offers opportunities for PhD candidates to gain awareness and insights directly from you about your workplace, industry, values and purpose. This can be undertaken directly between the mentor and candidate or through a formal mentoring scheme.
A placement is a way for a PhD candidate to understand and work with an organisation on a problem. An internship involves the candidate spending time within your organisation, usually undertaking a research project of interest to all parties. The research project may or may not be directly linked with the candidate’s thesis topic.
The Australian Government facilitates rebate-based internship opportunities for PhD candidates via the APR Intern Scheme, to which you can apply directly.
A supervisory panel guides a PhD candidate through their research degree, making sure their project is academically sound and industry relevant. As an end-user advisor on a supervisory panel, you will support the academic supervisory panel with project co-creation (idea development, in-kind and/or funding contributions, etc.), mentoring the candidate, career development support, and/or providing resources, exposure and experiences related to your industry.
