We’re looking for an Early Career Research Mentor who can live and volunteer for 2 weeks in Laos.


About the Partner Organisation 

This assignment is designed to facilitate planning to support the ongoing collaboration between RAID, AVP, HUAF and Souphanouvong University after success of a similar program in Vietnam. To determine if this would be feasible we are requesting to send Fran to Laos to build relationships and co-design a program tailored for Laos to commence at the end of 2026 with new Australian volunteers.
