Mid-stage

Getting involved

This stage of your research is a good time to remember that being a graduate researcher is about more than writing your thesis. There are opportunities to learn, lead and build on your research skills to ensure the best career outcomes following your graduation.

Mentoring

Mentoring is a fantastic way to engage with other researchers in your field and be advised by industry leaders and alumni, so consider participating in IMNIS mentoring, the STEM Industry Mentoring Program and Ask Alumni. There's also opportunities to be active in your community such as supporting high schools in low socioeconomic areas through In2Science.

Enhance Your Research Experience

There’s also ways to Enhance Your Research Experience. Some examples include:

• Thesis Bootcamps, where you can develop your writing skills and dedicate time to writing up. You’ll be presented with new strategies for successful writing that you’ll be able to apply
• The Faculty of Science’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition, an annual event where you can practice effective communication by sharing your research with a wide audience
• The GR Professional Skills Series, where you’ll have an opportunity to hear from professionals and to cultivate those skills and practices required to pursue your individual career path.
