Florey Early- and Mid-Career Researcher Association
A community for junior researchers
The Florey Early- and Mid-Career Researcher Association (FEMCRA) is an organisation affiliated with The Florey representing postdoctoral researchers less than 10 years out of their PhD.
FEMCRA acts to enhance the academic, professional and personal experience for postdoctoral research fellows through career development and social events, providing a professional network of diverse scientists within The Florey.
Run by current early- and mid-career researchers at The Florey, FEMCRA understands the value of having a supportive, scientific community of like-minded people.
A professional support network
The purpose of the FEMCRA is to:
- Provide opportunities to Florey early- and mid-career researchers for professional, scientific, personal and career development.
- Enhance communication between Florey early- and mid-career researchers through social and professional networking events.
- Keep Florey early- and mid-career researchers informed though various media (e.g. newsletters, social media).
- Promote contributions made by Florey early- and mid-career researchers both within the Institute and externally.
- Represent Florey early- and mid-career researchers at senior management levels and more broadly across the Institute.
FEMCRA events
FEMCRA facilitates career development and social events such as:
- ‘turbo-talks’
