Early Career Researchers Hub

Welcome to the Early Career Researcher (ECR) hub. An Early Career Researcher is classed by the University as staff on research-only contracts on grades E to G.

These webpages provide information for ECRs on training and development; initiatives and funding; support; news and events, as well as information on representation. 

If you are a postgraduate researcher (PGR), you will need to go to the other tabs on our Doctoral College homepage for information for PGRs.
