About Early Career Researcher Events
The ECR committee organises a variety of events throughout the year. These include regular PhD student and postdoctoral researcher social meetings (SPAM), career development workshops, postdoctoral researcher breakfasts, and contributing to the organisation of the UQ ECR symposium.
