Research Insights is a regular webinar series that dips into a different aspect of research career and skill development each session. In a digestible, 1 h online format that is easy to fit into your busy day, Research Insights tackles the key issues plaguing postdocs and early career researchers (ECRs) seeking to establish or grow a research career.
From learning about writing a winning prize application all the way to the ethical uses of GenAI in research, we have you covered! Come along and hear advice from academics who have been there and have wisdom to share.
Research Insights is open to everyone, but will be most relevant to postdocs and ECRs. Topics are designed to be cross-discipline and speakers come from diverse backgrounds.

Whether you’re leading collaborations or a research project, mentoring colleagues, or undertaking service roles in your school or Faculty, these all contribute to your research leadership trajectory. But how do you lead effectively early on in your research career and convey this narrative to others?
To find out more, join us for our next Research Insights, where you’ll hear from three researchers about how they’ve navigated the challenges and opportunities of research leadership.
