Academic careers – what are the keys to success?

Academic careers are unique. You’re expected to serve your students, conduct high-quality research and to build an international reputation for your scholarship. The job requires years of education; writing, speaking and teamworking skills; data and tech literacy; curiosity and creativity; and time commitments outside the typical 9 to 5.

There is no one path to career success in academia, but there are lessons that can be learned from others who have gone before you – or might even be working alongside you. Join us from 10-11am where we'll answer questions about academic careers in several countries and offer advice on everything from salary negotiation to networking to choosing the right supervisor.
