Early and Mid-Career Researcher (EMCR) Mentoring Scheme
Early and Mid-Career Researcher (EMCR) Mentoring Scheme
Early and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCRs) are new and emerging researchers usually within their first decade of academic or other research-related employment, following completion of postgraduate research training.
Mentoring for early and mid-career researchers (EMCR) has been identified as an area of need for academic professional development purposes. The purpose of mentoring is two-fold: to build research capacity of academic staff and to enhance the human capital of our organisation.
Our EMCR Mentoring Scheme was established to help meet this need, with established academics making themselves available to James Cook University, Singapore's academics to provide guidance on EMCR development according to a mutually agreed-upon plan.
