Early- and mid-career researchers may be interested in the following events, networks and other opportunities.
With the generous support of the Theo Murphy (Australia) Fund, the Academy conducts a variety of events and activities annually which support the careers of Australia’s EMCR community. EMCR Forum members are eligible to propose activities through the Initiative and if selected will work with the Academy to deliver them. The Theo Murphy (Australia) Fund has previously supported High Flyer Think Tanks and Australian Frontiers of Science symposia. These activities can still be proposed through the Initiative, which is also open to accept other activities.
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.
Science Pathways is the national meeting of the Australian Early- and Mid-Career Researcher (EMCR) Forum—the voice of Australia's future scientific leaders. It focuses on helping EMCRs gain the skills needed to build a successful career in science.
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.
