The final Early
Career Researcher Network event of the year will take place next Wednesday,
5 June between 12-2pm, and will focus on how to balance the conflicting demands
of academia.
Starting off in academia can be difficult. Not only are you
trying to establish your research career, but you are having to cope with the
new demands of teaching and supervision, as well as understanding what is
required of you as a ‘good citizen’ within your department. Outside of work you
may have conflicting demands from family and home.
This session will be led by Prof Sarah
Spurgeon (EDA) and Prof Gordon Lynch
(SECL), both of whom have had to juggle conflicting demands within their
own lives. It will be an opportunity to hear from them, but also to hear from
other ECRs across the University, to share your experience, and to offer help
and advice to each other.
Lunch will be provided. The event is free and open to all,
but please let me know if you intend to come along so that I can arrange
catering.
