All JCU academic and research staff who wish to supervise or are actively supervising JCU HDR candidates must apply for admission to the JCU Register of Advisors. Aspiring HDR advisors must apply to the Research Education Sub-Committee (RESC) to be included on the Register through submission of an Application for Admission to the Register of Advisors. An annual review of all members of the Register will be conducted by the Graduate Research School. Experienced HDR advisors who wish to upgrade their level of Advisory Accreditation on the Register must apply to the RESC by way of submitting a revised Application for Admission. In all cases, the RESC reserves the right to solicit confidential reports from students who have been supervised by the applicant.
In the application you will be required to report on your:
- Qualification. Please note if the doctoral qualifications are not from JCU you will need to provide a weblink or document to confirm your graduation status including date of conferral and name of award
- Publications. Please note that to confirm your authorship of ERA recognized publications you are required to load all your publications to [email protected].
- Completions. Please note if they are non JCU completions you will need to provide a weblink or document to confirm your entry showing date of completion of the student and your status on the supervisory team.
- Training. Please note for any training completed in LearnJCU, you will need to generate a completion certificate and attach to your application.
- Epigeum materials must be submitted using the Initiate Tasks or Elevate templates:
To achieve some advisory levels, advisors must complete online training using Epigeum materials. The Epigeum modules are available via LearnJCU, developed by a private provider but refined to the JCU context and designed to support HDR Advisor Development. Each module includes stories, videos and exercises to guide Advisors through a range of topics relevant for supporting HDR students through their research candidatures.
