Centre-UB early career fellows are an essential part of our mission to develop the next generation of behavioural researchers who are skilled at translating research into real-world benefit and collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders.
Throughout their fellowship, early career researcher fellows will work together with the University of Birmingham and partner organisations to:
– capitalise the knowledge exchange and impact of their behavioural research, – continue their development as a behavioural researcher,
– conduct further behavioural research (optional), and
– promote a positive research culture, demonstrating commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
Centre-UB will support their development by providing a training environment characterised by excellent science, cutting edge methods, interdisciplinarity, and translation through our critical mass of world-leading and internationally excellent research conducted by our behavioural researchers. Throughout their fellowship, early career fellows will work closely with a non-academic partner organisation. Through co-development and mentoring, our partners will help our fellows to gain vital experience of developing and applying behavioural research outside of academic settings.
Centre-UB early career researcher fellows will develop their fellowship activities together with mentors from the University of Birmingham and a non-academic partner organisation in line with their career aspirations. Throughout the fellowship, mentors from both the University of Birmingham and the partner organisation will support the development of the early career researcher fellow to achieve the aims of their fellowship.
