Information about the post-academic destinations of researchers varies from field to field, but it's widely accepted that there are more researchers than academic opportunities. The good news is that research staff have skills and experiences that are appealing in other sectors and roles, particularly if you can demonstrate the relevance of these. This short session will look at

·        the opportunities available as part of a research contract which can have broader relevance 

·       ideas for demonstrating leadership and initiative related to your research responsibilities

·       wider development activities

This session uses the recently published Resume for Researchers from the Royal Society as a session handout (https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/research-culture/tools-for-support/resume-for-researchers/)
