Webinar synopsis
As academics, our early career path is often relatively clear (if challenging), as we strive to achieve a professorship. Once we reach that level however, after the initial celebration, the future might be less clear, as we consider how to build on our professorship and develop our careers moving forward. Often new professors are unclear of what the possible professorial career trajectories are and how they might achieve these.
This workshop is designed to support new professors in developing their careers. The workshop will draw on a panel of established professors who have chosen different career pathways and then provide time for reflection, discussion and peer support/networking.
