CBA Workshop: Bayesian phylogenetics and macroevolution in RevBayes

Training support

The CBA invites Early and Mid-Career Researcher and PhD students to propose workshops or other training activities in biodiversity science.

We want to hear from you!

One of the major objectives of the CBA is to build capacity through training of postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers. The CBA welcomes input from Early-Mid Career Researchers (EMCR) and PhD students regarding the types of training activities you need to address your specific research requirements and interests.

Eligibility

A Training Support proposal should be led by EMCRs and/or PhD students from at least one of our CBA partner institutions, ie. ANU, CSIRO and/or UC.

The topic of the proposed activity should complement CBA’s biodiversity science focus, eg. evolutionary biology, population and ecosystem ecology, genomics, bioinformatics, and/or spatial modelling. Engagement with policy makers and/or conservation and land managers is also encouraged.

Funding may be sought for a range of training activities including (but not limited to) workshops, short courses, tutorials, retreats. The activity should be relevant to EMCRs (and others) from all three CBA partner institutions. They can be held at ANU, UC or CSIRO (other local venues may also be proposed).

If required, the CBA can also provide coordination support for your activity, e.g. advertising, registration, venue and flight bookings, etc.

In addition to Training Support funding, CBA also has funding for visiting scientists invited by lab leaders who, during their time in Canberra, will present a workshop and/or seminar for CBA members.
