PhD students, take your studies to the next level with this clinical trials internship
Would you like to gain hands-on experience within a clinical trials setting? The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) is offering our domestic PhD students a fantastic opportunity to do a 40‑week paid internship.
As part of the prestigious VCCC SKILLED Study Coordinator Internship Program, you’ll undertake a two-week orientation of competency-based training run by the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, followed by 38 weeks full-time on-the-job training. You’ll gain invaluable practical clinical trial skills to add to your CV and professional networks for possible future employment.
Am I eligible?
You can apply for the program if you’re a domestic PhD student who will be submitting your thesis for examination by February 2022.
This program isn’t solely designed for cancer research students – you may also benefit from the chance to obtain and develop clinical trials knowledge if you’re studying in any of the following Schools:
- Life and Environmental Sciences
- Medicine
- Exercise and Nutrition Sciences
- Nursing and Midwifery
- Health and Social Development
- Psychology.
I’m interested – how do I find out more?
