ABOUT
Academic Research Services is a new business enterprise founded by Annika Korsgaard in 2019. Annika recognised the need for academics to have access to many research support and research promotion services, but that their needs could not always be met by their university. The traditional approach of hiring research assistants from within an institute/faculty/department is not always the most time or cost-effective method to receive support. Academic researchers of all disciplines share many of the same goals, and require the same types of support to achieve those goals. Academic Research Services offers a wide range of services, and best of all you don’t need to wait for your university to approve casual contracts in order for work to commence. ARS can start immediately, and can work nights and weekends at no extra cost, to get your job completed ASAP.
Annika has worked in the Australian university sector for ten years as a research project manager, research administrator and research assistant. She completed three years of a PhD in Archaeology before deferring to take on the role of lead researcher for two Australian Aboriginal history/heritage projects. Annika is passionate about research. Over the years, Annika has acquired many research, project management, marketing, data management, business and accounting skills. She also has an extensive network of experienced academics and research/project administrators who are available to work with Academic Research Services to provide you the very best service possible.
