Early Career Researchers Workshop
The first-ever Australian Mathematical Society Early Career Researchers Workshop will be held at Mt Lofty House on Sunday September 27, 2009.
The response to this workshop has been outstanding and registration is now closed.
The Early Career Researchers Workshop will consist of short research presentations by leading ECRs, advice presentations on various aspects of mathematical careers in academia and industry by more senior mathematicians, and plenty of time for discussion.
We will provide transport to the venue from the city, leaving at 9am (sharp!). The bus(es) will pick us up from the Wakefield Residence at 223 Wakefield Street. We plan to return to the city in time for the Welcome Reception for the Annual Meeting.
Research speakers:
Thomas Britz (University of New South Wales),
Akshay Venkatesh (Stanford University)
Zhiyou Wu (University of Ballarat)
Unfortunately, Zhiyou Wu is unable to attend the meeting.
Advice speakers:
Jan de Gier (University of Melbourne)
Kerry Landman (University of Melbourne)
Industry representative
Elliot Tonkes (Energy Edge Pty
Ltd Australia)
Participants in the Workshop will also be invited to a special ECR lunch during the Annual Meeting, attended by the plenary speakers.
Registration is free for any registered participant in the Society's 2009 Annual Meeting who is an ECR or PhD student in the mathematical sciences at an Australian university or research organisation. (An ECR is defined as having no more than approximately 5 years full-time equivalent research experience since award of PhD.). Numbers for the Workshop are strictly limited, so those who wish to attend are advised to register early.
Meals at the venue and return coach from central Adelaide will be provided free of charge to all registered participants. Accommodation in Adelaide on the night of the 26th will be provided for the first 50 registrants from outside Adelaide.
The Workshop is sponsored by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute and the Australian Mathematical Society.
