Career development & resources
The RMA is keen to support students as they develop their academic careers. The Research Students’ Conference always includes a number of career development sessions, which address topics such as ‘post-doc funding’ and ‘getting published’. If you have an idea for a topic you’d like to see covered at the Research Students’ Conference, please contact one of the student reps.
Research Skills and Training
The RMA puts on Research Skills and Training events as well as listing and promoting relevent opportunities offered by others. See Research Skills and Training.
