HDR Supervision at ISSR
If you are considering studying a PhD in Queensland and you want your research to have social impact, then we would like you to join us at the Institute for Social Science Research (ISSR).
As a PhD student with ISSR, you will join a team of experienced researchers who want to make a difference. At ISSR we deliver high quality research to inform policy and practice and improve the life outcomes of communities and families. We have a depth of expertise and supervisory experience across research areas in public health, criminology, psychology, education, sociology, social research, and applied statistics.
As a PhD student with us, you will be part of an engaged, diverse, and welcoming HDR community that organises regular writing groups, social outings, wellbeing activities such as coffee, cake and conversation (3Cs), walking groups, lively lunchtime sessions, and much more.
Our PhD students are an important part of the Institute, and you will be able to attend regular ISSR capability building sessions, seminars, short courses and the ISSR conference, with plenty of opportunities to share your work.
ISSR is based at the beautiful, leafy, riverside Long Pocket campus at Indooroopilly with plenty of free parking and a free bus connection to the main campus at St Lucia, just 7 minutes away. You will have a light, spacious, modern and attractive workspace at Long Pocket and feel part of our inclusive ISSR work group.
If you would like to know more, we encourage you to reach to potential supervisors directly. For general inquires about the HDR program at UQ, please contact Lindsay Muller at hdr.issr@enquire.uq.edu.au.
