@Alexis_Barr Just this week? Am there on 18/19… just in case we overlapped!

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]

Interested in playing a pivotal role in developing a high-impact, strategically important national centre to support knowledge exchange policy and university practice? Check out this job: https://t.co/J8ePJmXhVJ

Seeking roving researchers! We think this could be a great way to improve #researchculture, by supporting researchers who want to take leave, and providing an alternative career pathway in research. Come and support this work @Cambridge_Uni

[Paula Bibby @pmacbibby]

This Roving Researcher role will provide experimental support to researchers on long-term leave. #researchculture @Cambridge_SBS @UnivCamPharm

@NoamTalPerry @drstevenwooding Very much looking forward to welcoming you officially to the team!

Postdocs @ Cambridge, please tell us how we can be better!🙏

We want to help improve your working conditions, and we need your advice to do that. We will feed & compensate you. 😊

@Postdoc_Academy and @CamPostdocs for visibility.

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]

@LizzieGadd But we’re glad you made the trip! Nice to meet you in person!

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]

More opportunities to join our growing team!

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]

Do you have expertise in postdoc careers? Do you want to help make a difference to research culture? We are looking for a Careers Consultant to join our ARRC project team: https://t.co/UgL2skAGbg

@BoswellPol This is really excellent, thanks for sharing! In years of supporting ECRs, I've messed around with various versions of/ideas to try and capture this, and this is by far the best I've seen.

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]

@ejwsolutions @ines_perpetuo I've been using the classic Royal Society one (see from @UKRIO), but often state what this means practically (in terms of university agendas). Failing that, the environment in which research happens?

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]

@kayguccione Did this in all our recent recruitment for the ARRC team - worked really well. I was initially sceptical (as someone also v comfortable with thinking on feet), but meant relaxed candidates giving their best and we got what we needed as interviewers.

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]

@Popher @drstevenwooding Maybe this should be on the reading list for the team’s induction?

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]

Tempted to make @westcamhub my new office. Loads of space, sleek design, aircon, and a wide selection of biscuits in the shop.

[Liz Simmonds @LittleLizS]
