Careers Service

Contract Researchers

The Careers Service works closely with Research and Innovation Services (RIS), the Faculties and the Staff Development Team in Human Resources to provide an advice, information and guidance service to research staff on fixed term contracts.

As a Contract Researcher, Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Associate, you will find that the service offers a range of general and specialised support to help you with your career development, whether you intend to stay in an academic environment or are considering alternative career options.
