The Research Career Development Group (RCaD) is open to researchers in FHM who share an interest in furthering their own career development and in strengthening organisational support for research career development and progression.
Researcher Career Development Group (RCAD) is open to researchers on time-limited contracts at Lancaster University who share an interest in career development and in strengthening organisational support for research career progression. We welcome researchers at early career stages as well as those who already have varying levels of research experience.
We meet on the fourth Tuesday of every month from 12.30-1.30pm to discuss areas of interest or issues that affect research and career development in a friendly and informal atmosphere. Meeting are hybrid via Teams or in-person in the HiOne campus building. Some meetings also include guest speakers from staff working in other departments. We also provide representation of RCAD and the issues that researchers face at Divisional and Faculty Research Committees.
Each year we organise a career development event, which is typically workshop style with an external facilitator with expertise in a topic of interest.
We have representatives that attend divisional meetings and also have established roles within the group:
