ASMR
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY
October 21-31 Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney
As part of their ongoing commitment to support the career development of health and medical researchers, the ASMR is again running executive-style training for mid-career researchers. Ongoing professional training is not available for the majority of health and medical researchers who, while they may have excelled scientifically, still need to develop the management skills that will enable them to successfully run their own laboratories, attract funding and progress in the NHMRC Fellowship scheme. This program is aimed at assisting the best and brightest of Australia’s health and medical researchers to achieve their full potential. Health and medical researchers who are between 5-12 years postdoctoral are invited to participate. Click here for details.
Kind regards
