| Over 2023, Parliament and the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) piloted a new role: the Thematic Research Lead. Evidence suggests that these influential roles are haing a positive impact and as a result, in 2024, Parliament is partnering with UKRI to expand its network of Thematic Research Leads across a wider range of academic disciplines and policy areas. They are currently recruiting to eight positions from a broad range of scientific and research disciplines. Have a look at the opportunities by clicking on the link below. The deadline for applications is Sunday 3rd March. |

| The Alumni weekend, Meeting Minds, will be taking place in Oxford from Friday 20 – Sunday 22 September. The organisers are looking to represent as much of the University as possible through stimulating interdisciplinary panel discussions, interactive workshops and informative tours. Sessions should last one hour (including questions) but can take any format: large panels, ‘fireside’ chats, a series of short presentations or any other way of promoting the ground-breaking work of academics. All content suggestions should be submitted by 5pm on Monday 15 April, even if the idea is not fully formed. |
