researchers for research staff and postgraduate researchers
The UKRSA continues and extends the work of the National Research Staff Association of the UK
The National Research Staff Association of the UK (NRSA) was established in 2006, and served as a collective voice for UK research staff for several years.
Information on the NRSA can be found at several websites, including:
- NationalpostdocUK, a Wikia Scratchpad wiki
- National Research Staff Association of the UK on the Nature Network
- Careers: Climbing the academic ladder, an article on the website of the Royal Society of Chemistry
- Britain's postdocs unite, an article by John Bothwell on the Naturejobs website
- Fledgling UK postdoc association can learn from other efforts, an article by Paul Smaglik on the Naturejobs website
The Nature Network forum is now maintained by the UKRSA.
In order to preserve the contents of the Wikia Scratchpad wiki, some of it has been archived by the UKRSA and can be viewed here:
- Steering Committee of the National Research Staff Association of the UK
- Minutes of the meeting to establish a National Postdoctoral/Research Staff Association, 22 June 2006
Several members of the NRSA Steering Committee are active members of the UKRSA Commitee, providing continuity between the two associations.
