The first Early Career
Researcher Network event of this term will take place next Wednesday, 13
January between 1-3pm, 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 places are limited so please let me know if
you intend to come along.
Further ECRN events are scheduled
for the rest of the term (details to follow). In addition, the Graduate School
provides a comprehensive programme of skills development training. More info here
