QUBIC Undergraduate Summer Internship Program 2027 Call for Projects

The MTD Portfolio is excited to launch the QUBIC Undergraduate Summer Internship Program 2027 and invite all supervisors (CIs, research fellows, and/or postdocs) to submit project proposals suitable for enthusiastic undergraduate interns.

We will be recruiting 14 students for the program, and all projects will be advertised online through QUBIC channels to attract high-quality applicants from across disciplines. The students will be distributed across the five QUBIC nodes, and we aim to represent the breadth and depth of QUBIC’s research community.

We encourage participation from all QUBIC-affiliated labs and research groups. This is a great opportunity to engage with motivated students and build broader awareness of your research work. We look forward to showcasing a diverse and exciting range of research opportunities for the next generation of quantum biotech researchers.

Key Details:

  • Internship Duration: 4 weeks (running at the beginning of 2027, Jan/Feb; exact dates TBC)
  • Project Requirements: Projects should be feasible within the 4-week internship period, appropriate for undergraduate-level participation, and fall within the scope of QUBIC’s research themes.
  • Supervision: Each project must have an assigned supervisor (CI, research fellow, and/or postdoc) who can support the intern throughout the program

To propose a project, please submit a 1-page proposal using this template, which should include:

  • Project title
  • Project description
  • Expected aims and outcomes
  • Preferred student background (e.g., relevant skills, coursework)
  • Supervisor(s) name and contact information

Submission Deadline: Friday, 14 August 2026

Submit your project proposal via email to: yao.jing@uts.edu.au

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with me or Dr Dzung Do-Ha or Prof Haibo Yu.

 

Monsters & Molecules: Journey to the Centre of the Brain

Cutting edge research meets role play in this Dungeons & Dragons-inspired comedy show—improvised live on stage!

Join comedian Jaimeson Gilders, educator Joel Gilmore and QUBIC’s very own Professor Lezanne Ooi, as they explore the cutting edge quantum research mapping one of the most complex systems to exist: the BRAIN! and attempt to save a fantasy world from total chaos!

This will take place the evening of Wednesday August 19, right after the Brain Theme Workshop!

Tickets on sale! They are only $20! BOOK NOW!

Monsters & Molecules is a National Science Week event hosted by science communicator Shu Ezackial and featuring live music by Melbourne bard, Sean Sully.

 

✍🏽Cathy Foley ECR Fellowship: Applications Open✍🏽

The fellowship supports emerging researchers from communities that have traditionally faced barriers in STEM and provides an opportunity to develop an independent research program at the intersection of quantum science and the life sciences.

Applicants must secure a QUBIC Chief Investigator as supervisor and host before applying.

Applications close 31 July 2026
