Call for new ECR Steering Group Members
Purpose
We invite applications from Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to co-lead the NetworkPlus for Analytical Behavioural Science in security and defence (NABS+) ECR Steering Group. NABS+ considers ECR status to be self-defined rather than defined by years post-PhD or job title: If you have, or are currently completing, your PhD with some research experience relating to security and defence we welcome your application.
We are looking to recruit members for the ECR Steering Group. We expect the post will be for a period of 12 months. In this role, you will work closely with the NABS+ lead for Career Development (Sophie Nightingale) and other members of the NABS+ management and admin team.
In this voluntary role you will be responsible for representing the wider ECR community. You will gain experience in governance and have the opportunity to shape the experiences of other ECRs by influencing the activities of the NABS+ ECR program.
ECR Steering Group Member Role
Represent the ECR community by gathering insight around the key challenges ECRs face and areas of development need, and report this back to the Group and NABS+ management team to positively influence the direction of the NABS+ ECR program.
Propose activities, and where appropriate, take a leadership role in their planning (with support from the NABS+ team and access to a small budget).
Provide feedback and evaluation on NABS+ ECR activity and offer constructive suggestions for future activity.
Attend, and actively engage in online Steering Group meetings (1 hour approximately every 6 to 8 weeks during the academic year).
