Careers in Academia: Panel Event

In this session, you will hear from a range of academics at various career stages from across the DTP, and learn the varied routes by which they ended up in academia. They will provide advice for PGR researchers looking to continue in an academic career, the ways such careers can cross over with non-academic careers, and the steps that helped them on their way. They will also discuss the pros and cons of academic careers compared to other research careers.

Please come to the session with questions for the panellists. Alternatively, you will have the opportunity to submit questions in advance via the Eventbrite booking form.
