SEI employment pathways workshop: pathway to academia

As the effects of global climate change become increasingly clear, more and more multidisciplinary research is required on the environment. Join our panel of Academics working in climate and environment, to hear how they got started in academia, progressed in their careers, and some tips they have for those wanting to make a difference in the realm of research.

University of Sydney students and researchers are invited to join this interactive workshop on career pathways in academia. The presenters will provide some reflections on their own career journeys, and then share some of their insights on how to be successful researchers. The session will also include advice from senior academics who have been part of both the hiring process, and provision of academic development across all levels, from HDR to MCR.

The sessions aim to provide attendee’s with information and steps that they can take to position themselves competitively when applying for research assistant, postdoctoral or lecturer positions.

This workshop is for University of Sydney students or staff only.
