Workshop: Getting Your First Post-Doctoral Fellowship

MeCCSA-PGN held a workshop on Wednesday 27 April 2022 themed “What’s Next: Getting Your First Post-Doctoral Fellowship”. It was aimed at final year PhDs and Early Career Researchers (ECRs) who would be interested in learning about post-doctoral fellowship applications.

The workshop was organised by Liao Zhang, MeCCSA-PGN’s training officer. In all, four former/current recipients of three major post-doctoral funding schemes in the UK and Europe were invited as speakers. They included:

1. Dr Anna Viola Sborgi, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the Department of Film and Screen Media, University College Cork, Ireland.
2. Dr Linzhi Zhang, a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Courtauld Institute of Art.
