AVBS2013: Research Experience Placement
This placement will give students the experience of working in a research-focused environment. This may include field or lab-based research across any number of industries related to animal sciences. Examples include University based research (at the University of Sydney or other institutions), commercial research (e.g. research labs, pharmaceutical companies), medical (e.g Garvin Institute, Westmead), conservation (zoo or non-profit organisations) etc. Research outcomes can have relevance to animal (production, companion or wildlife) or human medicine (e.g. mice or rodents used as animal models for human disease, reproduction research). The focus of this placement should be to understand the research environment, processes and methodologies, and the application of the research outcomes relevant to the field of work. While students may not be able to participate in the entirety of a research program, they should be able to report on the research methods and applications. Students should also familiarise themselves with the research team, aims and funding schemes, and the major challenges associated with the research field. Students can choose from a comprehensive list of research placement sites on SONIA, or are welcome to find and apply to add a new site/supervisor.
