Mentor: Chloe Pearse, Research & Higher Education Program Manager at AMSI

Chloe spoke to us about opportunities for PhD students and academics through AMSI. Here is a summary of the information Chloe had to share.

 

1. Women are encouraged to apply for accommodation, travel and carer’s support for AMSI conferences. Upcoming AMSI events are:

  • AMSI Optimise Conference: 18 – 22 June 2018 at University of Melbourne
  • AMSI Winter School on Curvature: 2 – 13 July 2018 at University of Queensland
  • AMSI BioInfoSummer: 3 – 7 December 2018 at University of Western Australia
  • AMSI Summer School: 7 January – 1 February 2019 at University of New South Wales

The AMSI conference websites are updated regularly. Please apply for the grant scheme attached to the conference you would like to attend. The applications usually close 4 – 6 weeks before the conference start date.

2. Through the AMSI member travel scheme, University of Melbourne staff are eligible to apply for travel funding to AMSI sponsored mathematics workshops in Australia.
