Our specialist Careers Consultants with research backgrounds work closely with UCL’s research community to provide guidance regarding career options in academia and beyond, and support with applications.
For those who have been invited to a live, telephone, skype or recorded video interview, we also offer mock interviews where you can practice with one of our team and talk through the feedback they will provide.
We have a programme of Careers Consultant-led workshops on a broad range of topics, for both careers in academia and beyond academia, and also a programme of employer-led workshops, panels and networking events aimed specifically at those with a research background.
Use the ‘Researchers' filter on myUCLCareers to search for vacancies our team have identified as being aimed at researchers or where the recruiter is keen to receive applications from those with a research background.
