Opportunities for research candidates

To enhance your research project, it's vital to explore opportunities for skill development. Collaborating with your supervisors to develop and review your learning plan will help identify existing skills and areas for improvement. This process enables you to seek out relevant opportunities for skill-building.

While research training workshops and special events provide focused skill development, consider broadening your expertise through employment, travel, or industry collaboration.

Below, find a tool directing you to additional opportunities beyond regular research training events at ECU. Links will be updated as opportunities arise, so check back regularly.

Prepare for your career and make a tangible impact with a research internship. These internships offer a valuable chance to collaborate with industry partners, fostering new insights and honing essential skills by applying your research to real-world projects within organizational settings. HDR internships empower you to tackle industry challenges and innovate, leveraging your expertise to generate solutions.

If you're eager to engage in research, enhance your professional capabilities, bolster your employability, and broaden your network, an industry internship is an ideal choice. There are various avenues available to secure an internship, whether through industry partners, businesses, government, or non-government organizations. Typically lasting 3-6 months, these placements offer invaluable experiential learning opportunities.
