***********************************************************
**** Early Career Development Symposium CHI 2018
*** Applications due *15 Jan 2018*
** Details: *https://chi2018.acm.org/authors/career-development-symposium/
***********************************************************

This one-day Symposium will help post-PhD researchers/academics develop 
their careers in HCI. Participants will get the opportunity to engage 
with senior HCI mentors and peers, and will come away with a better 
understanding of how they want to develop as HCI researchers. The event 
is open for applications from all members of the international HCI 
community who have received their PhDs in the past five years.

*Format*

The Symposium will be modelled after the CHI Doctoral Consortia and the 
Career Development events at CHI 2016 and CHI 2017. The format will 
include individual presentations, whole-group and small-group 
discussions, and guest speakers. We will develop the specific topics to 
be discussed through pre-workshop communications with participants, 
working from their written applications.

Participants will also have opportunities to strengthen their 
professional networks with one another, and with the senior CHI mentors. 
Unlike the format of Doctoral Consortia, we will focus more on career 
challenges, and less on the contents of research programs. We will also 
hold a series of panels on specific topics, facilitated by senior 
researchers discuss. Topics may include:

  * Building a cohort group of HCI colleagues (local, institutional, and
    virtual)
  * Establishing a successful career path in academia, industry, and/or
    the nonprofit sector
  * Fitting into departments e.g., what if I am the only HCI person in
    my department
  * Selecting and developing a research trajectory.
  * Identifying potential funding sources and preparing proposals.
  * Getting involved in professional service.
  * Communicating your work and strengthening your public profile.
  * Balancing work, family and social life.

*Submissions*

To apply, please submit the following by email to:
