Events

Shaping research culture: the Postdoc Voice

We run a flagship, catered event where we hear feedback, experiences, challenges and opportunities surrounding postdoctoral Research Culture from a stellar line up of speakers, with support from BRIC.

We address:

• How the University and department support professional and career development
• What postdocs see as Research Culture and exemplary or improving practices
• Career avenues for postdocs (Teaching, Industry, TF, Professional services)
• Pathways to Promotions for postdocs
• Networks for postdocs

This is an important forum for engagement and sharing best practice that applies to all postdocs - we also want to hear from postdocs and research support from across the Faculty of Science. All are welcome.
