ANZIAM Early Career Workshop Feb 2014

after the ANZIAM 2014 conference, Rotorua, New Zealand.

Date: Friday 7th February 2014
Venue: Millenium Hotel Resort, Rotorua, New Zealand.

The ANZIAM Early Career Workshop is a great opportunity for early career researchers to meet together for networking, cameraderie, and a chance to learn from the experience of some great invited speakers. The meeting will be valuable for those just starting out their research careers as PhD students, through to researchers about five years post-PhD.

Workshop Format and Focus

Acting on feedback from previous workshops we will focus on advice sessions rather than research talks. We plan to have five or six sessions on a range of topics including: getting grants, writing CVs, academic career paths inside and outside Aus/NZ, and balancing research with other commitments. The sessions will be in a variety of formats including panel discussions, hands-on active workshops and presentations.
