If you’re a postdoctoral or early career researcher in the Colleges of EPS and LES, the PERCAT programme is here to support you in your career development and training and to give you a voice at College and University level.  It is run by postdocs, for postdocs.

Join this online seminar to find out more about the PERCAT programme in EPS and LES, what it can offer you and how to get involved.  We’ll be joined by two of our PERCAT Reps, Sandra Agyapong-Badu, of the School of SportExR, and Galane Luo, of the School of Mathematics, who will be talking about the role of our PERCAT Reps and how our Reps support the postdocs in their Schools, as well as telling you how to get in contact with the Reps for your School.  We will also look at how you can access University-wide training and career development opportunities.

Who is the seminar aimed at?
The seminar is aimed at all postdocs and ECRs within EPS and LES who are new to the University, as well as those who have not previously had the opportunity to find out more about PERCAT.

This event is taking place during Postdoc Appreciation Week.   Postdoc Appreciation Week (PAW) is a celebration of the fantastic contribution postdocs and researchers make towards research and academic life in general. It's a special time to showcase, recognise, and celebrate their efforts, and thank them for all they do!
