PGR: Discover 'Academic Adjacent' Careers Panel Event

It takes more than just academic staff to keep a university running. From library services to administration, researcher development to research commercialisation, Higher Education institutions employ thousands of people in a range of professional roles, some of which involve activities you may have enjoyed during your postgraduate research such as teaching, attending conferences, and working closely with researchers.

If you enjoy being part of a university environment but want to explore your possibilities beyond academic research and teaching, then this event is for you.

Our panelists include*:

• Dr Stephanie Smith (PhD Plant Sciences): Research Developer & Training and Teaching Fellow at CENTA DTP - based at the University of Birmingham
• Jaspal Gharu (MRes Philosophy): Head of Assessments & Graduation at Newman University
• Dr Brittany Moster Bergonzi (PhD English Literature): Academic Librarian at University College Birmingham
• Dr Feylyn Lewis (PhD Social Work): Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, Vanderbilt University (Tennessee, USA)
• Dr Werther Vecchiato (PhD Cardiovascular Sciences): Licensing & Ventures Manager at Oxford University Innovation
