A PhD or Masters opportunity with REDI will provide you with access to research in a supportive and exciting environment. REDI fosters a vibrant research environment that supports excellence, innovation and collaboration. We’re searching for bright minds to work with our teams of researchers who are experts in their fields.
If you’re interested in pursuing a Higher Degree by Research (HDR) with REDI, you’ll need to align your research proposal with one of our research priority areas. Here’s how it works:
- Choose a research topic from one our research priority areas or search the list of current projects.
- Search for a supervisor in the list below, then contact one or more that match your research interests to discuss your research proposal.
- Complete the Faculty of Arts and Education expression of interest form – EOI form. This form is not a formal application for a Higher Degree by Research. An ‘Invitation to Apply’ will be required from the Faculty to progress to the formal application stage. There is no deadline for submission of this form.
