Researcher Career Development Group (RCAD)

Who are we?

Researcher Career Development Group (RCAD) is open to researchers on time-limited contracts in Lancaster University's Faculty of Science and Technology 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.

What do we do?

As a newly established group within the Faculty, we are currently still designing our portfolio of offerings - please check back soon to find out more about our plans for this coming year.
