Early Career Researchers

Progression through the early career stages can be particularly difficult to navigate for young academics. With this in mind, Early Career researchers (ECRs) in the School of Molecular Biosciences (SMB) have established a committee to support ECR career development and progression. This committee comprises ECRs representing various career stages and with diverse research interests that span the broad range of bioscience encompassed within SMBS. 

Training and support are also available from the Careers Advisory Service.

High quality mentoring is particularly important for ECR's as they work towards their longer-term career goals, whether those lie within academia, industry or elsewhere.
