Job hunting in a recession

I posted a little while ago about a Vitae resource on research careers during a recession. I have just found another very useful article on the same subject, on the Manchester Postgraduate Careers Blog (see link on the right) that you might want to take a look at.

Training days at the British Library

The British Library is putting on some subject-specific training days for postgraduate researchers. These are days of talks, workshops and networking opportunities as well as a chance to find out what the library has to offer and how you can access it.

The programme looks like this:

13 October English (Medieval—18th Century)
3 November Social Sciences
1 December Art and Design
8 December History (19th-21st Century)
1 February 2010 History (Medieval—18th Century)
29 March 2010 Modern foreign languages

All days are free of charge, and more information can be found here.
