The session will cover the research funding opportunities open to postdoctoral researchers and give a general overview of what a good application for research funding looks like. The session will focus on giving a fundable account of yourself and other critical issues in applying for Early Career Researcher (ECR) funding, such as postdoctoral fellowships. It will cover the details of ECR funding opportunities along with everything you need to know from conceiving a new project to shaping and writing the proposal.

By the end of the session, students will:
