2020 ECR Showcase: Call for applications

Applications are now open until 30 September for the ECR Showcase, a new endeavour – developed by ECRs for ECRs – to exhibit the depth and breadth of early career research to the wider University community.

We are looking for applicants who can pitch their research and its potential impact, in five minutes and with no more than four slides, to a broad audience including a judging panel made up of both academic and non-academic panellists.

COVID-19 restrictions permitting, all the presentations will be live (and recorded for online publication) and interspersed with networking sessions.

This showcase offers ECRs a great opportunity to get their research known across the different faculties, to create new collaborations, and to network with senior academics.
Three applicants from each Faculty will be selected to present and these 12 selected speakers will receive training on communicating their research to a general audience before the presentation. There are also prizes for the best presenter in each Faculty and overall best presenter.

Applications are now open for early career researchers with less than 5 years active research since their PhD. This time-period excludes any career interruption, such as childbirth, parental leave, carer’s responsibility, misadventure, or debilitating illness (we will also consider any disruption due to COVID-19).

As part of the application process, ECRs will need to provide a 100-word impact statement about their research aimed at a non-academic audience. The successful candidates will be notified via email and the presentations will be held on Thursday 19 November.

Please address all questions to ECR Showcase Committee by emailing ecrsupport@mq.edu.au and including ‘ECR showcase’.
