NIHR Post-doctoral Career Development Event: Successfully navigating your post-doctoral research career

Hosted by the National Institute for Health and Care Research 

The NIHR ICBS team are planning an NIHR career development event for post-doctoral researchers titled: “Successfully navigating your post-doctoral research career”. They would like to invite anyone interested in attending the event to please complete the expression of interest form to receive further information and a registration form for the event.

Planned by members at this career stage, the day long hybrid conference will support post-doctoral researchers from all fields of health and social care research to successfully navigate this pivotal, and sometimes challenging stage of their career. The event will cover:

  • the skills and knowledge to craft a successful and robust grant or fellowship application
  • a career planning and leadership panel which will enable delegates to hear about navigating the peaks and troughs of a successful research career
  • how to get the most from being both a mentee and a mentor
  • the chance to meet and network with others at a similar career stage

The event will be open to any researchers at a postdoctoral career stage or in the final year of their PhD interested in pursuing their career with NIHR. If the event is oversubscribed in-person places will be selected to achieve a balance of attendees.
