Running an Arts Centre?

April 21, 2009

The Careers Group’s one day course on Careers in Arts Administration runs on 9th June. Details on www.careers.lon.ac.uk/arts

or www.careers.lon.ac.uk/facebook/arts

 

A post-doc and after:

An academic career in Science Research

 

Professor Roger Morris  will give some advice about choosing a postdoc: Continue in your current lab or seek fresh fields? Consolidate the science you are using or change topic? Seek a position abroad?

How do you use your postdoc to lay foundations for an academic career? How is the postdoc different from doing a PhD?

 

And any other questions you may have for Professor Morris Head of the School of Biomedical and Health Sciences

Money to bid for!

Research Staff may be interested in the latest ‘call’ from the European Commission as part of the ‘Framework 7′ research funding programme (essentially a massive EU research grant).  Lots of career development grants available, details at:

<http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm>

It’s also worth looking at the EU Euraxess web site that has been set up to be a one stop shop for all things to do with Research Careers and employment across the EU (a charter and code recommendation is that we should all advertise jobs here): <http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/index_en.cfm>

There are currently  two vacancies at the UCL Careers Service.  These are for an International Students Project Officer (India) and International Students Project Officer (People’s Republic of China).  Both are research posts aimed mainly at gathering and recording labour market information on India and China respectively.  They are for a fixed term of 6 months, 1 day per week.
