@Alexis_Barr Just this week? Am there on 18/19… just in case we overlapped!

Interested in playing a pivotal role in developing a high-impact, strategically important national centre to support knowledge exchange policy and university practice? Check out this job: ifm.eng.cam.ac.uk/research/uci-p…

Seeking roving researchers! We think this could be a great way to improve #researchculture, by supporting researchers who want to take leave, and providing an alternative career pathway in research. Come and support this work @Cambridge_Uni

@NoamTalPerry @drstevenwooding Very much looking forward to welcoming you officially to the team!

Postdocs @ Cambridge, please tell us how we can be better!🙏 We want to help improve your working conditions, and we need your advice to do that. We will feed & compensate you. 😊 @Postdoc_Academy and @CamPostdocs for visibility.

@LizzieGadd But we’re glad you made the trip! Nice to meet you in person!

I’ve been on this planet for over 5 decades and have worked in the HE sector for half of that time, yet today is my first ever trip to Cambridge. Go figure.

More opportunities to join our growing team!

Do you have expertise in postdoc careers? Do you want to help make a difference to research culture? We are looking for a Careers Consultant to join our ARRC project team: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/38549/

@BoswellPol This is really excellent, thanks for sharing! In years of supporting ECRs, I've messed around with various versions of/ideas to try and capture this, and this is by far the best I've seen.

I'm really pleased to share a tool I developed with colleagues at Edinburgh University - designed to support academics in managing their research careers. 1/11

@ejwsolutions @ines_perpetuo I've been using the classic Royal Society one (see from @UKRIO), but often state what this means practically (in terms of university agendas). Failing that, the environment in which research happens?

Wondering if anyone has a good practical definition of what research culture *is* ? I want to seed a conversation with postdocs with a starting point @ines_perpetuo @LittleLizS ? #AcademicTwitter #researchers #culture

@kayguccione Did this in all our recent recruitment for the ARRC team - worked really well. I was initially sceptical (as someone also v comfortable with thinking on feet), but meant relaxed candidates giving their best and we got what we needed as interviewers.

@Popher @drstevenwooding Maybe this should be on the reading list for the team’s induction?

Tempted to make @westcamhub my new office. Loads of space, sleek design, aircon, and a wide selection of biscuits in the shop.

Are you organised, good with people and keen to change #researchculture? Last few days left to apply for our Engagement Co-ordinator role, playing a big part in keeping our experiments going, and helping to engage the sector with our work. Apply: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/35167/

We're looking for a small team of interdisciplinary researchers for our project. Help rigorously test popular solutions to improve #researchculture. More info on mix of skills we're after and what's involved: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/35409/

And here are the links to the roles we currently have in our new little project team. I need good project admin and co-ordination, and someone to engage with the uni. Please share! jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/35167/ jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/35168/ jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/35169/

@tanitacasci @Cambridge_Uni I very much hope this is what you'll be wearing when we meet next week...
