Calling All Defence Companies: Cost-Free Access to Highly Skilled PhD Interns.

DIN Internship Program will fund ten three-month internships that will place highly-skilled PhD students into NSW-based companies. The program will pair second, and third-year STEM students enrolled at DIN member universities with businesses operating in defence-relevant areas. 

Benefits
The aim is to enable companies to harness the skills of upcoming specialist research experts, create long-lasting connections with universities and fast-track their high-impact research projects at no cost to the company.

PhD students will gain hands-on experience working on real-world solutions and will be able to apply their academic knowledge to solve an industry-defined problem in exchange for a $20,000 scholarship provided by DIN.

The due date for company applications is 6 August 2023.
