The fifth edition of the ACLA course is now open for applicants. This course is targeted to post-doctoral researchers who are launching their independent researcher career and are thinking about building their own research group.
We will discuss career planning and trajectories, strategic mapping of research horizons, funding opportunities/challenges, building and leading a research group, project management, social impact issues and publication strategies, data management and research ethics.
Approximately 15-20 participants will be enrolled, representing a wide disciplinary range of social sciences and humanities, across all faculties of the City Centre Campus.
The course will convene in six sessions (Fridays: 10-15) over the academic year.
Workshop days are: October 11, November 15, December 13, February 14, March 14, and April 11.
Participants should make sure that they are able to commit to these dates.
For early May (2025) we are planning an excursion to Brussels to learn about European science policy and funding opportunities.
