UCL Health of the Public are recruiting a new Early Careers Network Committee Co-Chair

The Health of the Public Early Careers Network (ECN) was established in 2014 to support the professional development of early career researchers across UCL who have a research interest in any aspect of improving the health of the public.

Through regular events we provide opportunities for researchers to develop skills, meet peers, share ideas and experiences, and initiate collaborations. Details of our ECN, useful resources and a summary of past and future events is available on our website.

We are currently recruiting a new Co-Chair to lead the ECN committee, to help build on the successes of our network and organise future events. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your leadership skills, strengthen your networks across UCL, and help shape the support Early Career Researchers are offered. The successful applicant will work alongside our existing Co-Chair Dr Sophie Bennett to oversee development of a programme of activities, share chairing of 6-8 meetings per year, and lead in the organisation of at least one ECN event per year. The co-chair will sit on university-wide groups and committees, including the Health of the Public Delivery Group and the Research Staff Consultative Committee.
