UK National Postdoc Appreciation Week is approaching!
This year it will be starting on 21 September 2026, so come join us at the usual online and free National UK Flagship event to kickstart the week!
With everything seemingly up in the air, this year's theme will be "The Changing Landscape of Postdoc Careers".
Come join us for a session that starts with exploring/understanding your academic journey using creative language play (with Dr Marine Diehl), followed by a skills workshop that lets you start your future exploration (with Dr Holly Prescott), before wrapping up with a discussion panel and live Q&A with representatives from funders UKRI and British Academy about the current/changing landscape of academic funding.
To be expected: creative poetry, self-exploration, and honest takes!
