The FIRN PhD Job Market initiative seeks to connect job market ready PhD students to recruiting institutions across the region.  The program:

  • Allows potential employers to begin conversations with candidates before positions are formally listed.
  • Offers a one-stop gateway for both PhD candidates on the job market and recruitment teams looking for new hires.
  • Offers PhD candidates a better sense of local demand for their skills and the opportunity to tailor applications accordingly.
  • Offers a regional approach to the recruitment process which could save money and time for recruitment teams. FIRN aims to help promote new hire opportunities at institutions across Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia and Asia.
  • Offers a standing invitation to regional institutions to attend the FIRN annual meetings and use this opportunity as a local meeting opportunity for recruitment teams and institutional representatives.

APPLICANT INFORMATION

PhD students who wish to submit to the Job Market must first get approval from their Supervisor or Panel Chair before submitting their CV.  Your details will only be accessed by recruitment panels and will be kept confidential.
