Join THE Campus for our upcoming free webinar “Academic careers – what are the keys to success?” on 17 January 2023 at 10am-11am (GMT)

Don't miss out on the chance to join THE Campus for an exclusive webinar examining the keys to success in academic careers, featuring speakers from the University of Edinburgh, Australian National University and the University of Luxembourg. Registration is free and open now.

 

In this webinar, chaired by THE Campus editor Sara Custer, we will answer questions about academic careers in several countries and offer advice on:

  • Salary negotiation
  • Networking
  • Workload management for early career academics
  • Choosing the right supervisor

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.
