Career Essentials for PhDs and postdocs is a package of resources and workshops designed for early career researchers from those looking to progress an academic career to those exploring their options beyond academic research.  

The workshops and resources cover the following themes: 

  • Career Planning Tools: resources to support you with considering what you want from a career and exploring your options. These tools can support your career planning whether you’re exploring your options post-PhD, considering a career change or just want to weigh up your options. 

  • Academic Career Management: supporting you to understand the academic career path, reflect on your development and identify activity to support your career progression  

  • Building Your Network: resources and practical advice on connecting with others to support your career planning and development 

  • Get Recruitment Ready: tools to enable you to craft winning applications for academia and beyond!  

Our Careers Essentials programme is made up of on-demand resources including toolkits, videos and Sways outlined in the below sections. Check out the signposted additional resources in each section for further advice and support! 

In addition to our on-demand resources we run several live workshops throughout the year. You can view forthcoming workshops to the right of this page.
