Details

The purpose of this workshop is to raise awareness among students and early career researchers about opportunities and career trajectories in a range of fields, including academia, industry, and teaching. The workshop will feature successful scientists at an early-mid stage of their careers who have, importantly, faced the same questions that most students grapple with: what’s the next step after I submit my thesis; do I want to stay in research; should I pursue a postdoc in Australia or overseas; do I have what it takes to forge a successful career? Panellists from a range of research backgrounds and careers will discuss their career paths, day-to-day tasks, positive and negative aspects of their jobs, etc. There will also be plenty of opportunity for questions during a panel discussion. The target audience are honours/PhD students and early-mid career researchers.
