In this online event for researchers, we are inviting former researchers in some of these roles to talk about their pathway and what they do and find interesting in their area of work. Often called ‘Academic-related’ , these roles can tap into skills you’ve enjoyed using in your research from analysis to grant-writing and the research funding process to communicating research to non-academic audiences and more. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of our speakers in small groups in this informal setting.
