The first-ever Australian Mathematical Society Early Career Researchers Workshop will be held:

Sunday 27 September 2009, at Mt Lofty House, Adelaide Hills, South Australia.

The Workshop will consist of short research presentations by leading ECRs, advice presentations on various aspects of mathematical careers in academia and industry by more senior mathematicians, and plenty of time for discussion.

Participants in the Workshop will also be invited to a special ECR lunch during the Annual Meeting, attended by the plenary speakers.

Research Speakers

• Thomas Britz (University of New South Wales)
• Akshay Venkatesh (Stanford University)
• Zhiyou Wu (University of Ballarat)

Advice Speakers

• Kerry Landman (University of Melbourne)
• Industry representative: Elliot Tonkes (Energy Edge Pty Ltd Australia)

Registration is free for any registered participant in the Society's 2009 Annual Meeting who is an ECR or PhD student in the mathematical sciences at an Australian university or research organisation.
(An ECR is defined as having no more than approximately 5 years full-time equivalent research experience since award of PhD.).

Numbers for the Workshop are strictly limited, so those who wish to attend are advised to register soon by filling in the form linked to the Annual Meeting web-page, and ticking the box to register for the ECR Workshop: http://www.unisa.edu.au/austms2009/
