Your application must also include 2 references —

• 1 from a former doctoral candidate, 
• and 1 from a colleague who can authenticate your supervisory experience.

If you are an early career researcher, a post-doctoral fellow, a technician, or a member of professional services staff, some aspects of the Good Supervisory Practice Framework may not apply to you.
