Research Funding workshop, Tuesday 22nd

Dear all
Nice to see many of you at events last Tuesday and Thursday. Our next Historical Research Forum event is not until Tuesday 5th February (see our programme) but two events that may be of interest to you before then:

Tuesday 22nd January, 4pm (Lock-Keeper's Cottage)

Professor Christina von Hodenberg will be running a research funding workshop for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers thinking of making research funding applications. Here's Christina's message:

We will be offering a hands-on training workshop for research funding applications. This is aimed at postgrads and postdocs, particularly those who think about applying for a Leverhulme Early Career fellowship, but also other postdoc schemes further down the line (i.e., British Academy postdoc fellowships, Marie Curie mobility schemes, etc.). All colleagues are very welcome to attend, too. It might be very valuable for all those who qualify for Early Career schemes in general.

Andrew Shaw from Research grants will be joining us, among others, to share examples of best practice and do’s and don’ts.

Tuesday 29th January, 3.30pm (Senior Common Room, Arts II)

Professor Miri Rubin - Submitter' Session
As promised at the first Submitters' session, I shall be holding a session on 29 January 2013, 3.30-4.30pm, for those of you who plan to submit during this year. Others are welcome, of course. We will be discussing in particular the viva, but there will be occasion to raise other questions and to suggest themes for future meetings of the group.
