Advisor Networks

Five community of practice groups will be convened each year between 12:00 - 1:00pm on a weekday. Attendance is possible face to face in Townsville, Cairns and via Zoom. An email invitation is issued to advisors via the Graduate Research School. Current advisors are encouraged to offer topics, present and participate. Topics are intended to allow sharing of practice and open discussion to help advisors navigate their research environment successfully.

Early career researchers (ECRs) are academic staff who have completed doctoral studies in the last five years (periods of maternity, career or extended leave will be deducted when assessing eligibility) on any JCU campus and in any discipline.
We invite ECRs who are members of JCU’s academic staff to participate in our ECR training program. We provide a range of opportunities.
