The Australian Early- and Mid-Career Researcher Forum of the Australian Academy of Science serves as the voice of the country's future scientific and research leaders. We currently reach over 4000 people and are seeking to broaden and increase our engagement with Australian EMCRs to better represent their views, needs and vision to decision-makers within the government, members of parliament and key funding agencies.
SUBSCRIBE—ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE EMCR FORUM!
The EMCR Forum Executive invites you to complete a survey on professional development opportunities for EMCRs.
This is a chance to let us know about your professional development needs and preferences. We want you to share your thoughts on what types of opportunities are beneficial for your career. We also want to hear your ideas for effective mechanisms to address barriers to accessing professional development.
The survey results will inform development of future resources, in addition to opportunities and topics the EMCR Forum offers at conferences like Science Pathways and Science at the Shine Dome.
The survey will also assist the Australian Academy of Science to design the next round of the Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia). This initiative supports the career development of EMCRs and furthers scientific discovery in Australia.
Please complete the survey by Sunday 15 September 2019.

“One of the great blots on our modern living is the cult of false values, a repeated application of the test of money, notoriety, applause. A world in which a comedian or a beautiful half-wit on the screen can be paid fabulous sums, whilst scientific researchers and discoverers can suffer neglect and starvation, is a world which needs to have its sense of values violently set right.”– Sir Robert Menzies (The Forgotten People Speech, 22 May 1942).
