Early Career Development: navigating fellowships and pathways into and through academia

As part of 39 projects launched by UCL’s Enhancing Research Culture Programme, supported by more than £1m from Research England to enhance its research culture, IOE’s Research Development team is delighted to invite doctoral students and early-career academics from all disciplines and schools at UCL to the event ‘Early Career Development: navigating fellowships and pathways into and through academia’.

Not sure what’s next after your PhD/post doctorate? This event is for you! We’ll showcase some of the resources and teams available to help you and you’ll have an opportunity to hear from and ask questions of a panel range of speakers who have taken diverse pathways into and through academia. The event will end with lunch and an opportunity to meet/catch up with peers and colleagues.
