Empowering our researchers to thrive at all stages of their careers
The Research Development team supports the co-ordination, delivery and evaluation of programs across all academic career stages and levels. We do this by working in partnership with Faculties, PhD Programs and other professional development providers.
We provide meaningful opportunities for development, so that all members of the research community can flourish in mutually beneficial ways leading to discoveries that make an impact by changing the world for the better.
