Director's Message
Colleagues,
This week the School is interviewing for a tenure-track acadaemic position in Climate and Fluid Physics. On Monday, each applicant will present a 45 minute open seminar to the School in the second year laboratory. All the applicants are at the top of their field and we are expecting to hear about the candidates current and future research ambitions. It is vitally important for the School to engage with the applicants through these seminars, to demonstrate our interest in and commitment to these potential new, long-term colleagues and faculty members of the School.
Please note that Ian Campbell has offered to be Acting Director during the period 9th to the 23rd July.
I look forward to seeing you at the seminars on Monday

Compost Bins
Have you noticed the compost bins popping up around the school? There is one in every tea area in the Jaeger buildings! Please place your fruit and veg scraps, tea bags, coffee grounds and paper napkins in these bins. The bins will be emptied regularly into the school’s very own compost bin and help make RSES a more environmentally sustainable workplace!
Thanks,
Tharika |

Training
An important service of the Human Resource Division is the provision of a range of relevant and contemporary training and development opportunities for university staff.
To improve current staff training and development opportunities, we have undertaken the two major actions:
- Conducted an informal training needs analysis to identify delivery gaps in staff training needs which has resulted in the introduction of new and additional training workshops that will be offered across the course of the 2018 year.
- Refreshed the ANU Staff Training & Development website to streamline and update information on the range of face-to-face training and online training opportunities – the refreshed site is available at: https://services.anu.edu.au/human-resources/training-development
These service improvements are part of our broader goal to strengthen support for individual professional and career development, and the advancement of the university’s strategic priorities and vision. |
