Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia)

The Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia) was established by the Royal Society to further scientific discovery. The fund is administered by the Australian Academy of Science and provides grant funding to support career development opportunities for Australia’s early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). 

Science at the Shine Dome

Science at the Shine Dome is a biannual four-day event held by the Australian Academy of Science. It incorporates the induction of new Fellows, presentation of awards, and multiple opportunities for networking. Importantly, there is a special program for EMCRs  and the opportunity to network with Australia’s leading scientists.

Awards and opportunities

See the Academy's page containing a range of opportunities for scientists. There are honorific awards for recognition specifically for EMCRs, as well as research funding and travel opportunities that may be of interest.
