Friday 5 February 13:00 - 16:00 (AEDT)
The CAUTHE Executive is delighted to announce that the annual Bill Faulkner PhD Scholar and Early Career Researcher workshop will be held prior to the CAUTHE 2021 conference online.
Background
The workshop provides PhD scholars and ECRs (completed a PhD within the past five years and have a teaching or research position) the opportunity to develop relevant knowledge, skills, and expertise through their PhD journey and into the early stages of their career thereafter. The workshop is a great opportunity for up-coming researchers to network with fellow scholars and internationally recognised academics. Senior academics provide their own experience and insightful advice into strategic thinking and approaches for developing a successful long-term academic career.

Program
The program will include:
· 13:00-14:00 – Panel Session "Back to basics: How to get the most out of your PhD"
A panel of early career, mid-career and senior academics will discuss the role of five significant components of academic life: research, teaching, and service, in terms of enhancing the PhD/ECR experience.
· 14:00-15:00 – Break-out mentoring workshop with senior academics
Delegates will be matched by research areas, stages of research careers and/or similar methodologies in small groups with two senior academics to discuss CVs and aspects of their research.
· 15:00-16:00 – Mindfulness e-workshop.
In this workshop, to be presented by Peter from Business is Bliss, participants will unwind, have fun, engage and experience mindfulness through gaining a repertoire of techniques. You will learn least four simple take away every day practical techniques to use at work or home and participate in a practical e-mindfulness session. Finally, you will have an opportunity to interact with colleagues and discuss strategies which enhance your mindfulness.
The program will be innovative, engaging and useful for all PhD scholars and ECRs – no matter what stage you are at. A highlight of the workshop will be the opportunity to personally discuss your research with eminent academics from Australia, New Zealand and overseas.
