She has taken two short periods of sabbatical leave, the first as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in Professor Karl Wieghardt’s laboratory (MPI für Strahlenchemie) and the second as a Visiting Professor at Queens University of Belfast with Professor Jane Nelson followed by time on a Royal Society of Chemistry Journals Grant with Professors Mike D. Ward and Jon McCleverty and Dr John C. Jeffery at the University of Bristol.

Assoc. Prof. Brooker has received several academic awards and fellowships including: NZ University Grants Committee Postgraduate Scholarship in 1987, offer of a British Ramsay Postdoctoral Fellowship for 1990-2 (declined), Claude McCarthy Fellowship in 1994, Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship in 1996 and the Easterfield Medal by the Royal Society of Chemistry and New Zealand Institute of Chemistry in 1999.
