STUDENT & EMERGING RESEARCHER CAUCUS
The Student and Emerging Researcher Caucus aims to represent the views of NZARE members with a wide range of experiences and work/study situations, including:
Full time and part-time post-graduate students
Post-doctoral researchers
On-campus and distance students
Those who juggle parenting or part-time or full-time employment with their studies
Academic staff who are working on their Masters or PhD qualifications
Academic staff or professional researchers who are in their first few years (or even their first decade!) post-PhD
… and anyone else who self-identifies as a student or emerging researcher!
Our work compliments that of the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) - so you are encouraged to join SIGs. You can add as many as wish at no cost in your HelloClub profile.
Any member of NZARE who is studying may participate in the Caucus. Caucus activities are aimed at graduate students (full or part-time) and provide a forum for them to share their experiences and benefit from the participation in the community of new researchers.
However, to be eligible for the discounted membership rate, students must be enrolled in a tertiary institution at least half-time and in paid employment less than half-time.
Conference student travel grants
Applications closed 5pm 1st September - these are now being assessed.
