Are you an ECR in the job market this year? Or are you looking for networking opportunities within Australia? Look no further!
The ASA ECR Chapter Symposium Series matches ECRs with host institutions all across Australia where the ECRs invited are invited as colloquium speakers. These funded visits enable ECRs to elevate their research profiles, network with peers, and establish new collaborations.
Applications are invited in July each and the visits are organised before the summer break.
If you would like to be a participating institution reach out to Amit Seta.
Talks are recorded and linked below.
