The Centre has established a Research Fund to provide money for a three year  Early Career Research Fellowship.  This was offered for the first time in 2008, and aims to be offered annually. The Centre can be contacted for more information regarding this, and applications will generally be sought in the latter half of the year. 

The Centre also has many diverse research training opportunities for students of relevant disciplines (such as BSc, BBiotech, BHealthSci, MBBS, BAgSci) for Summer Vacation experience placements for 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students , as well as Honours and Postgraduate opportunities.  A full 2009 enrolment guide to these is available here.
