Our Early Career Researcher group
About the Early Career Researcher group
The Institute for Sustainable Food launched its new Early Career Researcher (ECR) group at the start of the 2021-22 academic year. The group has three core focuses;
-
First, the group aims to provide an informal social space for the Institute’s growing community of early career researchers
-
Second, the group aims to facilitate interactions with other ECRs and staff members based at the University of Sheffield, with a focus on social, networking and career development opportunities
-
Third, the group aims to engage with ECRs working in similar fields both in the United Kingdom and abroad, for example, by organising topical seminar and symposium events
Participation in the group is open and free to anyone and everyone who identifies as an early career researcher associated with the Institute for Sustainable Food, either directly or through a supervisor’s affiliation. Although we recognise that different definitions of ‘early career researcher’ exist, our current definition has been kept as open as possible to include the broadest diversity of colleagues and backgrounds. The group is currently composed of members from nine different departments at the University of Sheffield, ranging from Geography and Economics to History and Biosciences.
