This webinar will share career insights from three leading researchers in healthy ageing and aged care, focussing on shaping an academic identity and novel and emerging research methods.
Join us to hear from a diverse panel of speakers who will each give a brief presentation to share their experiences about navigating their career journey, their methodological expertise and their insights around crafting an academic identity. This will be followed by an interactive ‘Q&A’ discussion with participants.
Join us to:
