Sponsored positions
How do sponsored research positions work?
By sponsoring a research position at UTS you will be supporting a role that will strategically benefit both your company and the university. The nuts and bolts of the appointment will always be tailored to your specific requirements.
Options for sponsorship include:
- PhD student – You provide an annual stipend for the student (typically for 3.5 years) and an amount for related project costs.
- Research fellow – You provide funding to support an academic position at any level – from early career researchers through to more senior academics.
- Research chair – You provide ongoing funding to support a full-time senior academic position with the purpose of significantly accelerating research in a particular field.
Benefits for your organisation
Sponsoring a research position at UTS is an ideal way to develop a long-term relationship with the university, and particularly with specialists in your field. Our academics have global reach, which means you will be hooked into international networks and have direct access to the frontiers of science, technology and social endeavours in areas of strategic importance to your organisation.
