Careers Conference for Researchers – 25 March. Please note that this event is now cancelled

The next Careers Conference for Researchers will now run in 2021: as soon as we have a date for this we will let you know. We encourage you to preserve the time you dedicated on the 25 March for your career. Here are some practical suggestions:

• Read the speaker bios in the conference brochure and career profiles on research-careers.org, for inspiration around potential next steps; they have been in your shoes!
  • Consider ways to expand your insights into new professional areas, such as joining the team of Oxford researchers who select people to profile on research-careers.org and jointly edit new submissions.
• Book a 1:1 appointment with a Careers Adviser to discuss these, how to develop your professional network or any other career-related matter. We are running appointments by phone and have added more slots on the 25 March. Please book via CareerConnect.
• For upcoming workshops/seminars, please check the events calendar on CareerConnect.
• Sign up for the free course: Career Management for Early Career Academic Researchers

Researchers say they value the Careers Service as a trusted and confidential resource. We are a friendly, impartial team with considerable experience both inside and outside academia. Our services are available to all research staff during, and for one year after, their contract at Oxford. Oxford students and alumni have life-long access to the Careers Service.
