Prosper PI Network: Postdoc skills development for the future

18 Mar 2021

The next network meeting is on Wednesday, 21 April from 2pm - 3pm

The Prosper PI network returns this April with the opportunity to join to find out what fellow Principal Investigators and managers of researchers have learned from managing postdocs during the Covid-19 pandemic, how they plan to take this learning forward and what development opportunities postdocs can benefit from to prepare them for the post-Covid era.

Benefits of attending

• Exchange information on challenges and experiences of managing your postdocs during the pandemic and gain new insights on how to take this learning forward.
• Gain tips and share best practice on development opportunities for postdocs for the post-Covid era.
• Meet and strengthen relationships with PIs from the three Prosper partner institutions and gain new insights into commonalities across different disciplines and institutions.

This session is only available to University of Liverpool, University of Manchester and Lancaster University staff. When registering for this event please ensure you use your institutional staff email address.

More about Prosper and the PI network

Prosper is a new approach to career development that unlocks postdocs’ potential to thrive in multiple career pathways.

Based at the University of Liverpool in partnership with The University of Manchester and Lancaster University, our ultimate goal is to open up the huge talent pool that exists within the postdoctoral research community, to the benefit of postdocs themselves, Principal Investigators, employers and the wider UK economy.

We’re establishing a PI network that will put you at the centre of championing postdocs and driving change in how we approach their career development.

The network gives you the opportunity to:

• Influence, pilot and shape the development of Prosper and its resources to support both you and your postdocs in their career development.
• Share knowledge and learn from colleagues across the full range of disciplines at the University of Liverpool, The University of Manchester and Lancaster University.
• Share experiences and build relationships with employer partners, opening up new networks and opportunities for collaboration.
• Raise the profile and recognition accorded to successful postdoc development at institutional level.

Who can attend?

We encourage PIs at all levels to participate, and we welcome anyone who line-manages a postdoc or hopes to employ a postdoc in the future to come along.
