Early Career Researchers
Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are emerging researchers within their first eight years of academic or other research-related employment, following completion of postgraduate research training. There is no age limit on who can be an ECR as the definition is dependent on where the researcher is in their career progression. The resources located here are targeted towards ECRs who work at The University of Queensland (UQ).
