Join us for our latest webinar with the BAM Early Career Academics Network, which provides our community members who are doing their PhD whilst undertaking a full time/part time academic job with insights into how it could be done.
Dr Oliveira de Almeida is an award-winning academic who successfully completed his PhD whilst working as a full-time Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University. Our speaker will deliver insights into how he kept a balance between an academic role, and fulfilling deadlines/tasks to complete his PhD on a part-time basis sharing key takeaways from his experience.
The speaker will be supported by our very own, Dr Sahar Bakr, who held a full-time Lecturer position throughout completing her PhD as a full-time student. Attendees will have ample opportunities to discuss and ask questions in this session.
