Help Shape the Junior Researchers' Environment at AU
The PhD House Activity Group is looking for enthusiastic and creative volunteers who have ideas for both social and academic events aimed at PhD’s and postdocs at AU. By joining the board you will be able to directly influence what events are carried out, whilst it is also a chance to meet and socialize with other junior researchers in an informal setting.
All PhD’s and postdocs across academic disciplines and nationalities are welcomed and strongly encouraged to join.
Our work is sponsored by the International Centre and it is therefore possible to organize varied events such as workshops, seminars, and social gatherings, without worrying about fundraising and the administrative tasks in connection to it. The board meets 6-8 times a year, therefore you do not have to worry about taking much time from your already busy schedule.
Join us at the general assembly!
If you see yourself as part of this project, you can join by coming to the general assembly on the 28th of November 2013 at 15.00 in Conference room 2 in the PhD House (Høegh-Guldbergsgade 4, bld. 1652, room 018).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at phdhouse.au@gmail.com
