UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is calling on postdoctoral researchers, research associates and other early career researchers to join its new Early Career Researcher Forum.
The forum will give researchers a voice in UKRI’s strategy, policy development and decision making.
UKRI hopes to help build a community for early career researchers to benefit from peer interactions, learning, support and other opportunities.

The forum is open to researchers who identify themselves as employed as early career researchers.
