welcome to may’s ecm forum update; we hope you are continuing to keep well and stay safe while we see a slow change to current working environments and overall living circumstances.
as an ecm forum member, you are part of a strong community that offers you a place where you can find out about all advertised opportunities. it also creates a support system for you to connect with others who are going, or have gone through, similar situations throughout 2020. this is how the ecm support project was brought forth, an on-going project which will ultimately inform a position statement on the effect of the current climate on the career progression of early career researchers. if there is a topic you would like to see addressed by the ecm forum or a specific issue you would like to raise or discuss, please contact our team via email at ecm@www.banhxebo.com or via the ecm forum linkedin group.
