Research Training

As an institute of advanced studies in the humanities and social sciences The Cairns Institute plays a major role in research training. The Institute is involved in the recruitment, supervision, networking and mentoring of research students enrolled in Masters and Doctoral programs at JCU and partner universities.

A number of research students are physically located in The Cairns Institute Building D3 in order to work more closely with supervisors housed in the building. These, and other, research students benefit from the seminar series and other activities run by the Institute.

The Institute warmly welcomes inquiries from people interested in undertaking higher degrees by research on topics aligned with our strategic intent and research themes.

Details on application procedures and scholarship opportunities are available from JCU’s Graduate Research School.
