Description
Organiser: RAS Early-Career Network, Matthew Temple, Marieta Valdivia Lefort
During this lunch session, Early Career Researchers (ECRs) will have the opportunity to meet in person, network, and learn more about the RAS Early-Career Network. Previous NAM lunch sessions have provided a popular forum for ECRs to network and access informal peer-support. Given that many PhD students and postdocs can feel isolated within larger physics departments, this networking lunch aims to provide not only a social space for ECRs but also a sense of community, and to give delegates a chance to meet fellow Astronomy & Geophysics researchers and, for new PhD students, their nationwide PhD cohort.
This session is organised by the Early Career Network (ECN) of the RAS. It will also provide an informal โtown hallโ space for Early Career Researchers to meet the RAS ECN and express their concerns and opinions about the current challenges facing PhD students and postdocs. At the same time, speakers from the โJobs in Astronomy and Geophysicsโ session will be present to answer questions and provide advice in a more informal setting.
