Considering doing a PhD? Looking for the right research project or supervisor? Want to develop research with impact and novel collaboration? Interested in different career opportunities? Need mentorship or guidance in preparing a successful scholarship application? If you answered yes to any of these, we encourage you to attend the Research and Career Opportunity Event. Scientists, trainees, and health professionals will have the chance to discuss their needs and learn about available opportunities.

Various career-relevant research topics will be covered, with one-on-one discussions available. Registrants can visit multiple tables to discuss topics of interest, including early career research projects, mentoring, collaboration, grant writing, higher degree opportunities, and translation.

We also encourage attendees to stay for the yANZSN Networking event afterwards.
