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
- 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.
-
You can also consider R&D projects that may be available with a host organisation such as your employer, or industry connections arising through Industry Transformation Training Centes, Coperative Research Centres, Australian Research Council, industry-funded scholarships 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 LinkedIn.
- You can source advertised research internships via UWA's Career Employability GradAustralia dashboard.
