The capacity to work with cutting edge technology and associated subject-matter-experts is simply staggering in the NIC. I couldn’t imagine working anywhere else, particularly when you overlay that with the satisfaction of actively contributing to the mission.

As a STEM student, I never knew the breadth of opportunities that awaited me outside of research. Joining the NIC helped me realise that there are a multitude of unique ways that I can use my science skills and contribute meaningfully to the Australian community – all while constantly enjoying my work.
