REfocus@UoN

Developing the Strategic Researcher

Welcome to REfocus@UoN – the program dedicated to the development and support of researchers at the University of Newcastle. The information, events and links on the pages in this site are designed to provide a support portal for UoN's diverse, talented and widely dispersed research community.

Use the links on this page to navigate to REfocus@UoN seminars and events, as well as to other useful opportunities across the university and beyond. They are your door to ongoing success.

REfocus@UoN aims to develop the strategic researcher by supporting excellence, innovation and cooperation in the researcher career lifecycle - from Early Career Researcher to internationally respected expert. Among many working titles you may be, for example, an early or mid career researcher, a research assistant, a Chief Investigator, a Research Fellow, an RHD supervisor, a postdoc or a research higher degree student. Your role may be purely research or a combination of teaching and research.

This initiative is a collaborative venture between Organisational Development and Research Division at the University of Newcastle.

REfocus@UoN continues to address researcher wellbeing while remaining focused on research leadership and key research skills, mentoring, career development and succession planning. 

The program is guided by the input of researchers, including the members of the Researcher Development Advisory Group (RDAG).
