In conjunction with your application, applicants are asked to briefly outline potential project concepts in the form of a one-page research project description that clearly outlines suggested advisors and chosen discipline area. We ask that applicants align their proposal with both their own research interests and expertise but also that of the following UQ Experts:

Equine Internal Medicine – Dr Allison Stewart <allison.stewart@uq.edu.au>

Applicants must discuss research project opportunities and professional program availability and confirm both prior to applying.

Please note that any project proposal would be draft concepts only and the successful applicant would work with the chosen advisory team to finalise a viable and funded project, prior to School of Veterinary Sciences endorsement.

There is a preference for the successful applicant to commence in January 2025.

Selection criteria:

Your application will be ranked on the basis of:
