***********************************************************
**** Career Development Symposium @ OzCHI 2017
*** Applications due 4 Sept 2017
** Details: http://www.ozchi.org/2017/career_development/ *
***********************************************************
Aimed at early career academics and researchers (postdocs, early career
faculty), this inaugural one day OzCHI Symposium will provide
discipline-specific career guidance and development. Participants will
get the opportunity to learn from senior HCI mentors as well as from
their peers, and will come away with a better understanding of how they
want to develop as a successful HCI researcher. The event is open to HCI
people who have received their PhDs in the past five years or so.
The symposium will run according to open space principles: that is, the
participants will define the agenda to ensure that it best meets their
needs. Each participant will be given a short time to introduce
themselves, and will get feedback on his/her current professional
activities. There will also be a panel of senior HCI experts who can
share stories of their academic history and experiences. The rest of the
agenda is for the participants to define! This process will be
facilitated by the organizers and supported by senior faculty mentors,
who will be present throughout the day to provide advice to participants.
The agenda is open, but example topics might include:
• Building a cohort group of fellow HCI researchers.
• Establishing a successful career path in academia, industry, and
the nonprofit sector
• 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.
The Symposium will be modeled after the successful Career Development
events at CHI16 & CHI17.
