Australian Mathematical Society Early Career Workshop 2013
The annual AustMS Early Career Researcher Workshop will take place at the Waldorf Leura Gardens Resort in the beautiful Blue Mountains west of Sydney, on the weekend 28-29 September, 2013 immediately prior to the 57th Annual Meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society. The Workshop will include talks on new and emerging research problems and will provide advice on careers in mathematical sciences. The ECW is an excellent opportunity to think about your career in mathematics, discuss issues facing early-career mathematicians and statisticians, and meet others from around the country!
Accommodation and meals at the venue will be provided free of charge to all registered participants, thanks to the support of the Australian Mathematical Society and the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute. In addition, research students are often able to obtain travel grants to support their travel to the AustMS Conference and Early Career Workshop, through the AustMS.
An ECR is defined as a PhD student, or someone within approximately 5 years (full-time equivalent) of the award of their PhD.
Space is limited for the EC Workshop so please get in quick!
