Career Trajectories

Tuesday 8th July 2008
The Old Senate Room, UWA (map)

This session is designed for postgraduate members of AWGSA to meet informally and to enjoy an excellent professional development opportunity. Building on the success of the last postgraduate session at the 2006 Melbourne conference, we are continuing our focus on transitions from postgraduate to postdoctoral status and have assembled a panel of experts ready to talk about critical career development steps. Speakers will be as follows:

1. Ingrid Richardson “Research grants/projects: how to become involved as a postgrad and ECR”
2. Chilla Bulbeck “Where are the Mentors?: Who might help you in your career and what you can ask them to do”
3. Wanning Sun: “Building a teaching and research profile: how to position yourself within a field”
