BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

Early career researchers form a vital part of Murdoch’s community and the Office of Research and Innovation support initiatives to assist individuals in the development of knowledge and skills central to developing a successful research career.  In the present internationally very competitive research environment where public funding for research is decreasing, it is essential that researchers focus their efforts to ensure maximum productivity.  Newer researchers can benefit substantially from assistance with developing career plans, publications strategies, research funding and collaborative opportunities and general international recognition. This workshop addresses important topics related to the development of research careers, with the aim of improving knowledge on planning and opportunities, demonstrating strategies, tools and techniques participants can use to maximise research productivity and build a successful research career.

OBJECTIVES:

• Understand and plan strategically for your career
• Establish networks for research collaboration and impact
• How to your sell accomplishments
• Improve the quality of your outcomes and publications
• Understand the research funding environment and how to write more competitive grant funding applications
• Maximise international recognition

Any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards
