Become an adaptable and agile researcher

The Griffith Industry PhD Scholarship gives you the opportunity to undertake research in collaboration with an industry partner, providing practical experience while you complete your PhD .

You will conduct relevant, impactful research that responds to both industry and partner needs, under the joint supervision of your host organisation and Griffith University.

With opportunities available across private, government and not-for-profit organisations, you’ll be working on real-world problems, while gaining invaluable insight and exposure to the kinds of challenges you’ll meet as a graduate researcher.

During your research study, you’ll have the chance to develop your professional and personal networks alongside highly desirable skill sets in communication, teamwork, and time and resource management.

Immersed in industry and academia alike, you’ll learn to thrive in both worlds as you exercise your capacity for innovation and expand your range of potential professional pathways.

This career-focused development opportunity may provide you with a significant employment advantage once you complete your degree. In addition, you’ll be able to access valuable mentoring opportunities through your organisational placement.

If you are already connected with an industry partner or employed as an industry professional, and wish to undertake a research project in collaboration with that partner, you can contact your proposed supervisor to discuss options for developing a research project that is co-designed with the University and industry.

An Industry PhD Scholarship will support you to become an adaptable and agile researcher with the knowledge and experience to succeed in a variety of roles and industries.
