Get in touch with the the University to begin or continue your journey in research, explore opportunities for collaboration, draw on our research expertise, or establish a relationship with UC.
UC research covers a range of disciplines across our five faculties and research centres and institutes, and we have a strong focus on multidisciplinary research to solve complex local and global problems.
We want to build the best environment for our people to excel in quality research and teaching. Our ambitious plan for research at the University has led to reimagining our researcher development (UC ReD) programs to service various researcher career stages, and developing an impact framework to support researchers and teams to design, undertake, disseminate and integrate research that makes an impact within and beyond academia.
The University鈥檚 Performance Expectations for Academic Staff (PEAS) focus on supporting our academics to establish and progress their career, in addition to achieving traditional performance measures. UC is committed to supporting our early career researchers with our UC ReD IGNITE program, a small cohort experience focussing on personalised support and tailored training to complement in-faculty mentoring. Our centrally funded Outside Studies Program is an opportunity for academic staff to immerse themselves in another research environment at another institution or organisation for their professional growth and career development.

UC is committed to developing our future researchers and highly skilled professionals. Our higher degree by research (HDR) candidates collaborate with academics and other researchers in our centres, institutes and faculties to produce new knowledge and expertise in their chosen research field.
Many of our research students contribute to coursework degrees, learning through teaching and developing core skills for an academic. There is also a range of research scholarships available to support research students over the course of their studies.
UC鈥檚 HDR candidates have opportunities to work directly with industry partners, driving cutting-edge research and solutions that deliver tangible benefits to organisations and the wider community. Our Doctor of Philosophy (PhD Plus) program offers additional industry-connected opportunities, helping candidates develop the skills needed for careers in academia, industry, or both.

I was always drawn to how we think, and what factors affect our thinking. When combined with my interest in technology, I found myself in human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and Artificial Intelligence.

Research doesn鈥檛 have to be scary, and it can solve real world and immediate problems that schools are facing 鈥� and from my experience, you don't have to look very far to find something worth tapping into.
