CADRE-OCE PhD Academy Industry Research Opportunities
When you undertake a CADRE-OCE PhD you will access expertise, resources and training from two institutions.
As well as the host institution, The University of Melbourne (UoM), Queensland University of Technology (QUT), University of Adelaide (UoA), or University of New South Wales (UNSW), you will also have access to supervision support from Defence Science Technology Group (DSTG) researchers.
This means your research will benefit from national and global defence perspectives enhancing your prospects for a defence research career.
CADRE-OCE are currently seeking PhD candidates for the following Research Areas of Interest (RAI's). These projects would be funded by the host institution with additional PhD Top Ups available via CADRE-OCE.

Approaching potential supervisors
Before contacting a potential supervisor, look carefully at the type of research they do. Read through:
- The information they've provided about their projects – particularly whether they are appropriate for Honours, Masters or PhD research
- Their own research website or Find an Expert profile
- Their recent publications on Google Scholar.
Approach potential supervisors in research areas that interest you and discuss projects on offer, or tell them about potential project ideas that you may have. When you email a potential supervisor, please include a transcript of your academic record (you can print out your current record from SIS). Arrange a time to meet them in person.
Most supervisors only take on one or two students per year, so our intake is competitive and places are limited. Take time to discuss the available projects; it is important that you choose an area of research that interests you.
What's the best way to contact a potential supervisor?
Follow the links in the directory below to their profile on the Find an Expert website, and send them a message from there. If you already know the name of a researcher you're interested in, you can also straight to Find an Expert and look them up by name.
