Early Stage Researcher seminars at the Museum of Cultural History

Career support for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) has as its goal to support PhDs, postdocs and other non-tenured academic staff with skills useful in navigating future career opportunities, both within and outside academia.

One to two times a year the Museum of Cultural History (MCH) will offer a career development and transferrable skills focused seminar to all our early stage researchers. Programming will be developed in consultation with our ESRs, and coordination of these events lies with the ESR programme working group at MCH.
