Curtin MRI-enAble EMCR network

Curtin MRI supports the next generation of Australian biomedical researchers by fostering an inclusive and collaborative environment for early and mid-career researchers (EMCRs).

The Curtin MRI-enAble EMCR Network brings together researchers navigating careers in biomedical and health research, including the career transitions and life stages that often accompany this stage of professional development.

Led by the Curtin MRI-enAble EMCR Committee, the network delivers events and workshops that support career development, mentorship, wellbeing, and collaboration across research areas. Activities include grant and fellowship writing workshops, professional development sessions, mentoring opportunities, and social events. The network welcomes EMCRs from a broad range of research disciplines and career pathways.

The Curtin MRI-enAble EMCR Committee

The Committee brings together early and mid-career researchers from across Curtin’s research institutes. We work to support the development, connection, and visibility of EMCRs at Curtin and at our partner institutions.
