Enrolled doctoral students at UWA can self-source an advertised research internship or create a bespoke research internship with a research end-user (REU) organisation within Australia or overseas.
- Discuss your intentions to do a research internship with your supervisor early in candidature and explore their industry connections for a research internship with a REU.
- Find out more by attending an information session or drop-in session via events published to HDRhub.
- Express your interest in a future research internship opportunity by contacting us.
- You can create a bespoke research internship with REU's through your network. Extend your network by attending professional development events & online forums, discuss with your supervisor, and connect with career mentors and professionals in your field of interest.
- Consider R&D projects that may be available with a host organisation such as your employer, or industry connections arising through Industry Transformation Training Centres, Cooperative Research Centres, Australian Research Council, industry-funded scholarships and data agreements and research agreements. Refer to examples and the types of R&D activities in planning your research internship.
- You can find advertised research internships promoted by the Graduate Research School online Newsletter, and directly by the internship program provider or host organisation on their web pages and via LinkedIn.
- You can source advertised research internships via UWA's Career Employability GradAustralia dashboard, LinkedIn, Prosple, Seek, and directly with organisations.
