Opportunities

The University of New England is one of only a few educational institutions in Australia that offers a coherent undergraduate program of study in palaeontology.

UNE offers a range of palaeontology (or palaeo-related) degrees and units. Find out more about studying Palaeontology at UNE.

We are always on the lookout for new Honours, MSc, and PhD students. We offer a wide range of projects that can be tailored to complement any student's interest areas spanning dinosaur evolution to the Cambrian explosion. Contact listed staff members (see 'Our People') to further discuss project options and what program is best for you. Please note that competition for projects is high and only students with excellent track records are considered.

Volunteering is a great way to get involved, get experience and helps keep our research going. The Palaeo Lab at UNE often has a backlog of tasks in preparing and sorting Mesozoic and Palaeozoic fossils.

If you are in Armidale and have time to give, contact us at palaeoscience@une.edu.au to find out how to get involved.
