The Postdoctoral Reference Group was established early 2012 to provide feedback to NHMRC on issues of relevance to those crucial years in a researcher’s career after obtaining their PhD.
Function
The function of the group is to engage with and advise NHMRC on:
- issues regarding the Early Career Fellowship and Career Development Fellowship schemes;
- broader issues applying to all funding schemes, such as mentoring, balancing family, research and professional responsibilities; and
- other matters that may affect developing researchers, such as international opportunities and developments in the higher educational and health care systems.
Membership
Update on Membership Provisions for the Postdoctoral Reference Group
NHMRC wishes to advise that membership of the Postdoctoral Reference Group will generally be for a two year period. Early in 2014, NHMRC will invite institutions to nominate new members who are early to mid-career researchers with potential for leadership and with an interest in positive engagement with the Group.
Current members, if they wish to continue their membership, will need to re-apply for membership for a further two years with the support of their institution.
This is in the interests of renewing and refreshing the Group so that members and NHMRC continue to benefit from a dynamic exchange of ideas and information.
In the interim, any early to mid-career researcher who is interested in joining the Postdoctoral Reference Group may do so, provided that they have the support of their institution.
Enquiries about membership may be sent to postdoc.referencegroup@nhmrc.gov.au.
The Postdoctoral Reference Group comprises 160 early- to mid-career health and medical researchers (listed below), all nominated by their Administering Institutions around Australia as having leadership potential.
