RESEARCHER FUTURES
A one-day career workshop for mid/senior bioscience postdocs
23rd February 2017
Hodgkin Huxley House, London

Organised by the Physiological Society and Society for Experimental Biology, this one-day workshop aims to help bioscience postdoctoral researchers (4 years or more beyond their PhD) to review their careers and consider future options, whether that’s within or outside of academia. Following on from our plenary speaker, Dr Liz Elvidge, who chairs the BBSRC postdoctoral skill sub-committee, career management exercises will help to reveal strengths and preferred ways of working, linking them to possible career futures, whilst considering personal situations and practical ways to connect with employers. Finally, our panel of speakers will fuel discussion and help answer any outstanding questions before finishing with the opportunity to make a personal plan of action. Participants are then welcome to stay on a bit longer for an optional informal networking reception at the end of the day.
The event is free and places are limited due to the interactive nature of the workshop. Members of Physoc and SEB can apply for £50 grants to assist with their travel.
