Latest news: research aligns postdoc talent with net zero skills demands, New training: Using AI to enhance research and more

Our latest newsletter shares new research in Elsevier’s Cleaner Engineering Technology which highlights that UK postdoctoral researchers bring world-class expertise but remain underutilised in industry. A study led by C-DICE with input from industry and academia reveals that better alignment between postdoc training and industry needs could help close critical skills gaps in sectors driving the UK’s 2050 net zero target.

We’ve just announced a great line up for our forthcoming panel discussion on alternative career paths for researchers. Act fast as there are very few places left.

If you are already familiar with AI tools and are ready to deepen your understanding, take a look at our new hands-on workshop: Using AI to enhance your research processes. Our AI training with Dr Naomi Tyrell always books up fast.

We had a great response to our offer of 10 free places for postdocs to attend Cranfield University’s Process systems engineering for net zero carbon emissions on 10 December. These places are now allocated but if either you, or your institution can self-fund, a limited number of places are still available.

Prosper – one of the best practice initiatives that gave invaluable input into our joint event with UKRI on advancing postdoc talent earlier this month – wants to hear from postgraduate research (PGR) students about their experience of career development during their studies. They also want to hear from stakeholders – anyone who supports, influences or contributes to PGR career development, whether formally or informally. Please consider sharing your views.
