Research Guide

Find a Topic That YOU Are Fascinated By!


It is important that you are passionate about the topic – try to not get involved in a project you don’t care about! 

If you need help finding a topic or brainstorming, the best way is to contact researchers in your area who may point you in the right direction!


Find a Researcher in Your Area of Interest


  1. Through JCU: click here.
  2. Through TUH for specific department research leads: click here.
  3. Through TUH for general enquiries: click here.
  4. Through CBH for HP Research Fellow: click here.


Contact Potential Supervisors


Depending on your topic/area of interest, use above emails to find a potential project you could assist with.

Alternatively if you have a project or idea of your own, and are looking for a supervisor – JCU is the best place to ask!
