Post Doc & Early Career Workshop
Purpose:
The Post-Doc & Early-Career Workshop is intended to provide an opportunity for researchers early in their careers working in the learning sciences to discuss their own research, to discuss post-doc and early-career challenges with peers and senior mentors and to initiate international networks related to their research topics.
Format:
There will be online interaction (ca. 5 hours) to prepare the conference workshop where participants try to identify common interests with respect to research and common challenges with respect to the specific phase in the academic career. During the workshop (1,5 days) itself participants will present their research and get feedback on it in Firehose Sessions, talk to different mentors in small groups and discuss possible new international research networks with their peers. To support community building there is a Post-Doc/ Early Career Dinner scheduled for the evening of the first day.
Content:
Funding opportunities, kinds of funding Post-Docs and Early Career Researchers can apply; how to develop a research agenda, and/or the own career, publishing, where and how much; how to mentor and supervise graduate students; new research methods; possibilities for building international research networks; international mobility/going abroad: How, how long, where to? The Workshop will also have a specific focus on the specificities of the CSCL community and on the dilemma with which this community is confronted (interdisciplinarity, gaps between different methodological approaches).
Participants:
Participants are post-doc and early career researchers (starting with those just finalizing their doctoral thesis to those having 5 years of experience after receiving the doctorate). In addition to researchers interested in experimental research, researchers interested in scientific issues linked to implementation and practice (scalability, sustainability, etc.) are encouraged to participate. Workshop mentors are leading researchers in the field of CSCL from all over the world.
Application procedure:
To participate at this workshop, submit an application, through the conference submission system not later than December 20, 2008. The application must include two files:
(a) A file with:
- an abstract of max. 300 words on your ongoing research,
- preliminary ideas on future research plans, including a possible role of an international network that can be stimulated during the workshop (max. 200 words),
- topics you would like to see addressed at the workshop and
(b) a file with your CV.
