About our ECR network
The University of Brighton is committed to career development, support and training to develop the research leaders of the future. We foster an agile, vibrant research community through mentoring, peer support, tailored workshops and enable our talented Early Career Researchers to gain doctoral supervision experience.
The early career researcher network (ECRN) includes a wide range of staff at the university, from post-doctoral researchers to senior staff engaging in research at an early stage of their career. At the University of Brighton, the ECR status is dependent on self-definition and therefore encompasses a variety of colleagues with a variety of experiences – from recent completion of doctoral studies to first grant-writting.
If you identify as ECR, regardless of whether you are part-time, full-time, with a permanent contract, or a fixed-time contract, please send an email to say hello and join our mailing list for a bi-montly newsletter.
Led by our Early Career Researcher Ambassador as well as the team of school-based ECR Representatives, it has been set up to provide a forum for support, networking and collaborations.
