Advancing in academia 29 March 2010

Event overview

Are you interested in advancing  your academic career?

Do you know what's required? Do you have a plan?

The research carried out by the UK's higher education sector is held in extremely high regard by the international community. In producing 8% of the world's scientific papers and 13% of the world's most highly cited works, the UK ranks second only to the USA. The UK's research staff are central to this achievement*.

Like most careers, there are many elements that are required in order to develop a successful academic career and these are not always transparent. This event addresses how to succeed in a competitive and complex research environment and will allow you to think about the pros and cons of different career options available.

This interactive one-day event is aimed at early career researchers and will enable you to:  

  • review the current higher education environment
  • meet with successful academics from a range of disciplines to hear how they advanced their academic career
  • understand the balance required between skills, achievements and building your professional profile
  • review where you are in your career, where you want to be and how to get there
  • ask questions that you've always wanted to but weren't sure who to ask network with fellow researchers
  • develop an action plan to strategically manage your career.
