The challenges
facing early career researchers include the following tensions:
- being
ambitious but ensuring aims are achievable
- being focussed
but not too narrow and being open to new ideas and directions
- being clear

contributions of other disciplines
- focusing on
one's academic career vs its translation into policy and practice
- working hard

experience and help participants think about these issues in relation to their
current dilemmas and future career plans.
