Call for volunteer members of the British Academy Early Career Researcher Network – Southwest & South Wales ECR Advisory Group

The British Academy ECR Network Southwest & South Wales cluster has begun its new phase under the leadership of the Universities of Exeter and Bath Spa as Delivery Partners. At the SWSW Consortium meeting in February, the Consortium agreed a new Governance Structure for the SWSW Network and the following set of Values. The structure includes an Advisory Group comprising ECRs representing institutions across the region, as well as a variety of SHAPE* disciplines. This Group will help inform the Consortium and Delivery Partners about ECR needs and help steer the delivery of the Network in the Southwest and South Wales.

Members of the ECR Advisory Group are expected to attend quarterly meetings (approx. 1hr online) and be a spokesperson for the Network at their institutions. The BA ECRN is “for ECRs, by ECRS” and we expect that members of the Advisory Group are a sounding board for Network activities and hold the Network accountable.  The cluster currently runs a monthly online Connect community meeting. The Advisory Board may choose to play a leadership role in this event.

For more information, contact Linda Lanyon, BA-ECRN SWSW Project Officer, University of Exeter: l.lanyon@exeter.ac.uk

To nominate yourself please contact Linda or your institutional contact, as instructed.
