Spotlight on Early Career Researchers
This session will focus on how the Creating Knowledge Implementation Plan (CKIP) Chancellor’s Fellowship initiative has supported some of our early career researchers by providing time and financial support to enable them to focus on developing their research careers. Four of our Chancellor’s Fellows will talk about their research and share their thoughts about the impact of the initiative on them.
You can find their pre-recorded presentations on the conference site along with links to further details of their research, key publications and contact details. A live Q&A session, facilitated by Professor Steve Johnson, from 10.00 to 11.00 on Friday 12 June will provide an opportunity for colleagues to learn about how to make the best of the opportunities available at SHU.
This session will be of particular interest to early career colleagues who would like to learn more about how to win and make the most of small career development grants, for example negotiating the application process, building networks around your research interests, gaining support and recognition from your colleagues and applying for further grant funding / fellowships.
