POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH PROJECTS

Integrating world class research with leading mining and research translation partners.

Partners

We work with a number of industry partners which guide and support the innovative research being undertaken at the University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia and Curtin University.

These industry partners:

  • Provide in-house training for the PhD Scholars and provide the industry context for the Postdoctoral Researchers – in collaboration with the Universities.
  • Ensure that the Training Centre produces future leaders in advanced sensors and data analytics for complex resources.
  • Participate in, and contribute to, world-leading research that will transform end-user mining operations.
  • Translate research outcomes into industry ready application.

Becoming an industry partner in the Training Centre offers many benefits including:

  • Connecting with workplace-ready graduates with industry-relevant skills and experience
  • Access to information on new technologies
  • Opportunity to guide the training and development of the next generation workforce
  • Access to university research and development capabilities, expertise, infrastructure and technology platforms.
