Driven by a desire to support Scientist members, through what can sometimes be a precarious journey (dependent on grant funding), the Society’s Science Committee has developed a
Career Development Framework for Scientists. This framework is there to support your science career progression, navigating industry, and to highlight where the Society can support you.
“The Career Development Framework will help to support Scientist members by providing a clear pathway for career progression, access to Society-endorsed development opportunities, and deeper engagement with the endocrinology community, to help equip them for success across all career stages.” Dr Karen Forbes, Science Committee member
We hope that Scientist members will not only benefit from this resource themselves, but also pass the opportunities to the next generation, ensuring that they too can make the most of their Society membership.
KEY AREAS COVERED BY THE FRAMEWORK
- Research
- Teaching
- Leadership, collegiality and citizenship
- Engagement
- Knowledge exchange
- Enterprise
“Career progression in academia can often feel unclear and arbitrary, especially as an early career researcher. The Framework aims to support all Scientist members – from undergraduate onwards – by providing tailored goals, advice and resources for each career stage.” Dr Melissa Wright, Science Committee member
