Opportunities exist for talented and aspiring postgraduate students, research assistants and research program managers to become part of the ihop team.
Our previous and ongoing studies provide the ideal platform from which early-career researchers can develop their research skills and experiences while working with a team that includes masters students, phd students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as experienced research assistant and trial managers, all of whom are committed to undertaking research that will improve the lives of others.
Please feel free to contact the ihop research group (via the Contact Us page) to discuss ways in which you may develop a suitably scoped higher research degree project that may be integrated into our research areas.
