CNCS’s Early Career Committee is made up of postdoctoral fellows and early career staff from a range of departments at Durham, Newcastle, and Northumbria universities. The committee hosts workshops, research conversations, and conferences throughout the year. It also organises an annual workshop for prospective applicants to postdoctoral fellowships at CNCS universities. Committee members are always glad to support and assist prospective applicants. For more information, please contact the postdoctoral committee lead, Roisín Laing (roisin.laing@durham.ac.uk).

The postdoctoral committee also organises an annual workshop for prospective applicants. Anyone considering applying to a postdoctoral fellowship at Durham, Newcastle, or Northumbria Universities, is invited to present their research to CNCS members, who will respond with questions or comments on how this research might contribute to CNCS and its partner institutions. This workshop is also an opportunity for prospective applicants to identify current CNCS members with whom they could go on to organise further, more focused events to be held either before they apply or once they arrive.
The CNCS postdoctoral committee invites prospective applicants to submit abstracts of research to be presented at this workshop. Please send abstracts to roisin.laing@durham.ac.uk.
All current CNCS postdoctoral fellows have made their own applications available as a resource bank for prospective applicants. If you would like to view this bank, please contact cncs@durham.ac.uk
CNCS postdoctoral fellows are always happy to read and comment on draft applications by prospective applicants to postdoctoral fellowships at Durham, Newcastle, and Northumbria Universities on request.
