For EMCRs

The Australian Academy of Science supports early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) through a variety of mechanisms. 

The major initiatives are:

  • providing a voice for Australia’s EMCRs through the EMCR Forum.
  • honorific awards that recognise outstanding contributions to science
  • the Theo Murphy (Australia) Initiative which accepts and supports proposals for activities and events that provide tangible benefits to EMCRs.

If you identify as an EMCR working in Australia, the Academy and EMCR Forum Executive encourage you to get involved in the national discussion(s) about your future.
