Early Career Network
About
The aim of the Early Career Network is to bring together graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, junior faculty, and other early career professionals from both academic and practitioner settings who are interested in work-family research, practice, and advocacy. Membership is open to all WFRN members who identify as early career professionals.
Objectives
- To encourage and enhance interest and commitment to work-family issues.
- To connect members to potential mentors amongst senior WFRN members.
- To increase visibility of early career professionals at larger WFRN organized social and professional networking opportunities.
- To communicate to the larger WFRN the needs and interests of early career professionals (e.g. strategies for building a successful career in work-family research, practice, or advocacy).
- To create a common platform for sharing resources related to career opportunities and/or funding opportunities within the work-family field (e.g., WFRN’s Early Career Work and Family Fellowship Program).
- To provide a supportive space to discuss career and research-related issues (e.g., publication strategies, promoting work-family concerns among practitioners) and any additional resources, programs, or projects that meet the needs of Early Career Network members.
- To facilitate inter-disciplinary research collaborations.
- To foster connections between early career researchers and early career practitioners.
