Research Capability Development: Spotlighting UTS Early Career Academics

Event description

Early career researchers (ECRs) are operating in an ever-changing and increasingly competitive academic landscape.They face many challenges as they strive to build their networks, secure funding, publish their work, gain recognition and reward for their work, and establish independence. In addition, the added pressure to demonstrate broader impact and benefits that can accrue through interactions with research end-users outside of academia has introduced a new dynamic to which ECRs are expected to adapt.

It has never been more important to hone technical and non-technical research skills, operate effectively in a team, and communicate knowledge and findings effectively to diverse audiences across a variety of formats.

This hybrid session profiles a diverse mix of UTS early career researchers funded under the UTS Early Career Research Capability Development Initiative. The Initiative provided funding to 15 grantees to design and pursue a 12-month project, guided by their chosen mentor/s, to help develop up to two chosen capabilities from the UTS Research Outcomes Capability Framework.  

The time has come to showcase some of the achievements of our grantees. Selected grantees will present briefly on the progress of their capability development, then join a panel session with Prof Chris Turney to exchange ideas about research capability development, and its challenges and opportunities.

This session will interest researchers and research support staff looking to engage with the breadth of impactful research happening at UTS, and who are interested in how our early career researchers are navigating their research capability and skill development. The role of mentorship will feature in presentations and discussion.

Join us in the RES Hub to share in the successes of our 2021 ECR Capability Development Initiative grantees, and network with your colleagues afterwards with morning tea provided.

Please note that this session will be delivered face-to-face but with a Zoom option available for those who cannot make it in person. This session will also be recorded.
