Post-Doctoral Opportunities – How to make yourself fundable

Dr Sally Baggott works in the HE sector as a freelance research funding consultant. Drawing on her extensive experience in developing applications for research funding, this session will  focus on giving a fundable account of yourself and other critical issues in applying for Early  Career Researcher (ECR) funding. The session will cover everything you need to know from conceiving a new project, to shaping and writing the proposal. Sally will cover the details of ECR funding schemes and share examples of previously successful applications for discussion. 

This session is targeted towards students in the 3rd year (or part-time equivalent) of their PhD studies.
