We aim to contribute towards the attraction and appeal of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø as a global destination for incoming ECRs, widening the pool of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø ECR talent.
List
We will achieve this by:
- Working with experts across 51³Ô¹ÏÍø to design and deliver outstanding support for a broad range of ECRs, including under-represented groups, individuals moving through linear and a diverse range of non-linear career transitions, and those moving between levels. We hope that this will enhance career mobility and widen participation.
- Embedding and highlighting ECRI’s provision within programme level and institutional level grant bids, contributing towards the attractiveness of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø as a global leader of ECR development. Working with PIs, we will articulate and showcase the delivery of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s bespoke training and development opportunities and broader support available to both research staff and research degree students.
- Advocating for recruitment and selection processes that widen participation to the broadest talent pool of ECRs, including those from non-traditional backgrounds, those outside the research environment, those from under-represented groups and those returning from career breaks.
- Influencing and contributing towards 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and sector support for under-represented groups of ECRs.
- Working with funders, industrial partners and Government to ensure that an ECR pathway at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is open to the widest range of global talent.
