Are you looking for a research assistant?
My name is Claire Newcombe and I am a second year Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science student at Deakin University. I have just completed HSE213 and have been advised by Brittany Swelam to contact IPAN regarding potential research assistant roles in 2024.
I am planning on completing a Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology in the future as well as going down the Honours and research pathway in 2025. I am looking for an opportunity to be exposed to the world of research, and to learn whether or not this is something I want to pursue following my Bachelors degree.
I am extremely interested in health promotion, and specifically the barriers and facilitators of physical activity women of all ages face. I am passionate about helping others, and aim to achieve this through both clinical and research avenues as I think both are equally critical in providing practical solutions for the population.
I was just wondering if there were any roles for research assistants next year, or any other opportunities where I can be involved in research projects? I would love to be part of a research practicum in any capacity. Please email me on clairenewcombe2003@gmail.com and I can send through my Resume for your consideration.
