As part of the Equality and Diversity committee we will be running some training sessions throughout the academic year, specifically for post-docs in Biological Sciences. These will cover a range of exciting topics (!?) including working abroad, working with industry and writing\/reviewing manuscripts, which we hope you will find useful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our first session will be on \u2018Fellowships\u2019 and hosted by Dr Tom Ezard and Dr Diego Gomez-Nicola who will chat about their experiences in writing and gaining independent fellowship funding from NERC and MRC.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The sessions will be very informal with lots of time for Q + A. This first grouping will be held in B85\/6003 on Wed 9th November 10-11.30 am. There is no age limit and academics are also welcome to come along and share experiences! There may also be doughnuts. We hope to see you there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thanks and best wishes<\/p>\n
