Join THE Campus for our upcoming free webinar “Academic careers – what are the keys to success?” on 17 January 2023 at 10 am (GMT)

REGISTER NOW

Academic careers are unique. You’re expected to serve your students, conduct high-quality research, and build an international reputation for your scholarship. The job requires years of education; writing, speaking and teamwork skills; data and tech literacy; curiosity and creativity; and time commitments outside of the typical 9 to 5.

There is no one path to career success in academia, but there are lessons that can be learned from others who have gone before you – or might even be working alongside you.

In this webinar, chaired by THE Campus editor Sara Custer, we will answer questions about academic careers in several countries and offer advice on:

  • Salary negotiation
  • Networking
  • Workload management for early career academics
  • Choosing the right supervisor

Even if you aren’t at the beginning of your career, this discussion will help you think about how you are supporting the early career academics in your department.

Registration is free and open now.
