Early Career Researchers
In this section, discover practical information, guidance and resources for early career researchers (ECRs) from all disciplines, following each stage of your research progression.
Tell us what you think!
We’re conducting a quick, anonymous survey of ECR training to make sure our workshops cover the topics you need, and are delivered in a format that works for you.
Tell us what’s working and what you’d like us to do differently. Open Monday 24 November - Monday 15 December.
At Sussex, ECR is defined as staff on a research-only contract at grades 6-8. This broadly encompasses research assistants, postdoctoral researchers, research fellows and senior research fellows.
Here at the Sussex Researcher School, we are dedicated to supporting the professional development of our ECRs. Our Researcher Development team provides training and development opportunities and advocates for improved career support and employment conditions for ECRs across the University, throughout their time at Sussex.
