About us
Our group is open to anyone working within The Division of Tropical Health and Medicine (DTHM) who self-identifies as an early or mid-career researcher (typically up to 15 years post-PhD, excluding career breaks). The group aims to foster a sense of community between our EMCRs and support overall career progression.
The group meets monthly varying between discussion sessions, invited speakers, workshops and social events. We also organise a yearly retreat focusing on researcher skill development and bringing together our members based at different university campuses.
The group has established an EMCR mentoring plan available to all members who are interested. Our past priorities have included the development of HDR supervision capabilities, identifying opportunities for EMCRs to be involved in teaching and skilling staff to be more assertive in being able to drive their own performance development plan. Our 2021 priorities include promotion/media opportunities and identifying and effectively linking to external opportunities for collaboration.
