Launching 2019/20 Early Career Researchers Urban Studies support network

The Early Career Researchers (ECRs) Urban Studies Network is an Urban Institute (UI) and the Department of Urban Studies and Planning (USP) initiative, supported by the Faculty of Social Science at Sheffield (FoSS).

It has been designed to provide a supportive space where to discuss issues and opportunities related to career development. It has been created and managed by myself – and I’m very happy to run it for the second consecutive year (after very positive feedback from the 2018/19 cohort).

The program for 2019/20 includes:

  • Seven two-hour training workshops
  • Two ECRs away-days
  • One writing retreat
  • The organisation of an ECRs-led event
  • 1-to-1 support with the network’s Director

Calendar 2019/2020

The program can be found here, and also on the image below.
