The 11th annual New Investigator Roundtable will provide a venue for individuals who are in the beginning stages of their academic-research careers to interact with more seasoned investigators. Through rather informal, roundtable discussions, new investigators (graduate, AuD, and PhD students, as well as postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty members) will meet with individuals in the discipline who can offer advice concerning successful academic-research careers (e.g., beginning a research career, balancing research and other activities, identifying appropriate research funding, and interviewing for a professional position).

Opportunities for informal interaction with the speakers will be provided. Sessions are open to all Convention registrants; there is no additional registration fee. Symposium participants are strongly encouraged to attend all five sessions.
