Register of Advisors
James Cook University is committed to quality research supervision.
JCU staff who supervise research students must be on the Register of Advisors. To be included on the Register, staff must apply by completing the Application for Admission to the Register of Advisors form.
The table below shows all staff currently listed on the Register of Advisors, grouped by School and Organisational Unit, and within the unit sorted alphabetically by surname.
Mentor: The role of the Advisor Mentor on a Panel is to help develop the advisory capacity of the other members of the Panel, both individually and collectively. They should be on the Register of Advisors. An Advisor Mentor is not required on a Masters or a PhD Advisory Panel where at least one member of the panel is a Primary Advanced Advisor.
Primary Advanced: The Primary Advanced Advisor chairs the Advisory Panel and takes the lead in day-to-day supervision of the candidate. They should be on the Register of Advisors. The Primary Advanced Advisor should be a member of the academic staff (or adjunct staff) of the College in which the candidate is enrolled, or be otherwise formally contracted and accountable to the University for supervisory duties. An advisory team that includes a Primary Advanced Advisor does not require an Advisor Mentor.
Primary: The Primary Advisor chairs the Advisory Panel and takes the lead in day-to-day supervision of the candidate. They should be on the Register of Advisors with either Primary Advisor or Advisor Mentor status. The Primary Advisor should be a member of the academic staff (or adjunct staff) of the College in which the candidate is enrolled, or be otherwise formally contracted and accountable to the University for supervisory duties.
Secondary: A Secondary Advisor works with the Primary Advisor or Primary Advisor (Advanced) in their supervision of the candidate. They should be on the Register of Advisors. Secondary Advisors should meet regularly with the candidate and the Primary Advisor/Primary Advisor (Advanced) in joint meetings.
For information on the eligibility requirements please refer to the HDR Supervision Procedure.
