Mid-Career Scholars Day (MCS Day)

Led by:    Professor Snejina Michailova, The University of Auckland, New Zealand

Mid-career scholars (MCSs) are academics who typically have at least eight years of academic experience, see themselves as having more than five years of a rewarding academic career in front of them, and identify themselves as mid-career academics.

This day-long event is for MCSs interested in gaining insights into strategising about and crafting a career they would define as satisfying and rewarding. Sessions will focus on unpacking some of the distinct demands and challenges MCSs meet as pressure and stresses increase. Discussions will also be devoted to the power of peer mentoring and meaningfully aligning the various parts of academic portfolios. The day will offer good opportunities for MCSs to network and learn from each other.

How to apply:

Submit a one-pager summarising:

• your resume (current position and institution, number of years of academic experience so far, research interests, courses taught, and citizenship/service/ leadership roles (if any));

• a paragraph on your motivation behind wanting to participate in the MCS day;

• a statement confirming that you are (or will become by the registration date at the latest) a member of both ANZIBA and AIB.
