The Australian Early- and Mid-Career Researcher Forum (the Forum) is the national voice of Australia's emerging scientists, representing researchers who are up to 15 years post-PhD (or other research higher degree), irrespective of their professional appointment. If you identify as an EMCR, then you are part of the Forum.
In order to have an effective voice, we need to have a strong EMCR Forum membership.
Membership of the Forum is open to early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) actively engaged in STEM research, either as a researcher or in a role that substantially supports the delivery of research and that requires substantial research training and experience.
The EMCR Forum represents the Australian early- and mid-career researcher (EMCR) community by making formal submissions to government inquiries and reviews. Below is a list of the Forum’s past submissions, alongside articles that reflect its perspectives on key challenges affecting the research sector.
The EMCR Forum produces occasional resources for the use of EMCRs for professional development purposes. In addition they produce public statements and discussion papers on topics affecting EMCRs. The Australian Postdoctoral Survey aims to understand and track the demographics of the EMCR community in Australia and understand the issues affecting them.
On 9 September 2016, the Academy made a submission to the consultation on national research infrastructure capability.
