News 21 MayA message from the Executive Dean Faculty of Education and Arts Professor Mary Ryan.
Register to attend the first online talk in a series hosted by the Neuroscience of Addiction and Mental Health Program, Healthy Brain and Mind Research Centre (HBMRC).
Be inspired through a series of talks from senior and accomplished research professionals at ACU, sharing insights derived from their personal journeys with an opportunity for you to ask questions and engage directly.
Join the first talk in the series as Executive Dean Health Sciences Professor Suzanne Chambers AO shares guidance about how building a successful research career abounds from research funders, scholarly institutions, and industry bodies.
Importantly, a research career is only one facet of a person’s life, and the integration of one’s research identity with purpose and personal guiding values is the main game.
Join us for a conversation about pursuing knowledge on the two wings of faith and reason, and to discuss where in the end we wish to land when it comes to a successful research career. You will also learn some helpful research tips, guided by popular culture.
Professor Suzanne Chambers AO
Professor Suzanne Chambers AO is a health psychologist and registered nurse who has been working as a practitioner researcher in psycho-oncology for more than 30 years. She was awarded her PhD in 2004 within the School of Psychology at Griffith University and has produced more than 300 peer reviewed publications and numerous books, book chapters and monographs. Her work has focused on developing models to predict help seeking and adjustment after cancer; designing remote-access and low-intensity psychological interventions for people affected by cancer; integrating peer support into controlled design methodologies; and integrating distress screening into interventions to target high distress cancer patient groups.
