Session: Challenges face by early academic researchers

[AzamAsanjarani]

We can discuss this issues:

• Supervision of students

• Doubt about academic career

• Lack of support from supervisors

• Best way of starting a fruitful collaboration

• Feeling emptiness after finishing their PhD

• job hunting (both academic and industry)

I'd be keen on this. My uni has an "Effective Supervisory Practices" module designed to help new supervisors. Would be happy to discuss the sort of things we learned in it. Also the potential to turn informal supervision into more formal stuff would be good, because I seem to spend a lot of time helping a few PhD students.

I agree, this session would provide insight in to several important issues for an ECR

Could possible roll #1 into this.
