Dr Lucinda Iles, CEPAR PhD Graduate, Curtin University |
‘My PhD focused on understanding how leaders in organisations can leverage benefits from an age diverse workforce. The opportunity to work with industry was an important factor in my decision to do my PhD at CEPAR, under the supervision of Professor Sharon Parker. Our work with collaborating organisations has allowed me to see the real-world application and impact of my research, which has been rewarding and motivating. CEPAR’s extensive research connections mean that I have access to a network of world-leading researchers in Australia and internationally.’|
Dr Daniel Dinale, CEPAR PhD Graduate, The University of Sydney |
‘Studying at CEPAR, under the supervision of Professor Marian Baird, has allowed me to expand beyond the research interests of my doctoral thesis and further develop my skills and knowledge of the research process. Being part of the broader CEPAR team has not only complemented my doctoral research but provided opportunities to collaborate with astonishing CEPAR researchers throughout Australia.’|
Dr Janet Maccora, CEPAR PhD Graduate, UNSW Sydney |
'CEPAR has opened up the world of ageing research to me as a PhD student in Australia, under the supervision of Scientia Professor Kaarin Anstey. Not only in terms of meeting and getting to know the work of leading researchers in my field, but also in being exposed to other fields that I normally wouldn’t engage with, but have turned out to be highly relevant for my work. Through CEPAR I have had the opportunity to get to know researchers at my own level from other institutions, leading to professional collaborations and even personal friendships. I’ve also been inspired by senior researchers who have shown what is possible in terms of improving the social, economic and health conditions of older Australians.'Mentoring for CEPAR Early and Mid Career Researchers
The CEPAR Mentoring Scheme was a formal scheme designed to pair early and mid-career researchers with mid-career and senior researchers within the Centre who act as Mentors. This mentoring was provided in addition to any mentoring provided by CEPAR Project Leaders to their research teams and other informal mentoring occurring within the Centre. Further information is contained in the Guidelines.
The CEPAR Grant Application Support Scheme provided support for CEPAR Level B and C Research Fellows and Associates developing applications for external competitive funding schemes by matching the grant applicant with a senior member or members of CEPAR to offer guidance throughout the application process. Further information is contained in the Guidelines and the application form.
The CEPAR Multidisciplinary Collaboration Funding Scheme aimed to support members of paid CEPAR academic staff (Levels B to D) develop and lead multidisciplinary projects closely aligned with the CEPAR research program by providing seed funding for projects and activities which enhance multidisciplinary collaboration across and within CEPAR’s four research streams. Further information is contained in the Guidelines and the application form.
The CEPAR Stakeholder Engagement Program aimed to support CEPAR researchers develop the skills necessary to effectively engage with stakeholders and communicate social science research, providing opportunities to hone these skills under the mentorship of experienced CEPAR researchers. Further information is contained in the Guidelines.
The CEPAR Future Leaders in Ageing Program aimed to accelerate high potential mid-careers researchers’ capability to lead research, featuring personal development projects, peer learning projects, individual coaching and mentoring, engagement in a change simulation, 360 degree leadership assessments as well as other self-assessments.
