Careers in focus: Careers in academia
This one-day event is being held in Manchester on the 30th March. It is free for all postgraduate researchers, but a refundable deposit of £25 is required to secure a place.
The day will provide participants with an insight into some of the areas that make up a career in academia.
Participants have the opportunity to:
- meet with current academics from a range of disciplines to hear about their experiences of an academic career and ask the questions you've always wanted to, but weren't sure who to ask
- explore how to market yourself for a career in academia, both within your department, and at interview
- look at how to write effective grant/paper applications
- discover what life is like as a postdoctoral researcher
- work with fellow researchers and share experiences with other participants
