The purpose of this workshop is to address topics related to career progression, both within and outside astronomy. 

It is aimed at finishing PhD students, postdocs and very junior faculty, that is anyone who is only just beginning to establish their career and looking for guidance. 

The sessions will not just be talks, but include a large proportion of discussions and other activities. It will be more 'down to earth' than ordinary science meetings, encouraging participation and interaction.

This workshop is proudly sponsored by the ASA, AAO, ANU, CAASTRO, ICRAR and Swinburne. For comments and enquiries, please email d.parkinson at uq.edu.au.
