Summary
Register today to join the AHSS ECR Assembly and CRASSH Research Culture Team for an evening in which we ask: What are we to make of the difficulties of today’s job market, and how can we best validate the variety of trajectories while making clear the structural difficulties that shape them? What is particular about precarity in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences?
Diane Caldwell from the University of Cambridge Career Service will be on hand to tell you more about what the Careers Service offers ECRs. You will have the chance to sign up for a limited number of in-person 1 to 1 confidential careers appointments which are taking place on Thursday 6 June in the Student Services Centre or Diane can also show you how to register to book an online appointment with a careers consultant for researchers.
Come and share experiences of precarity among a community whose stories reflect different ways of navigating the current climate.
We’d be delighted to see you there!
Contact Early Career Representatives, Joshua or Georgina for more details.
This event is hosted and sponsored by CRASSH, Action Research on Research Culture and Career Services. Its purpose is to identify and address ECR needs for the School of Art and Humanities and Humanities and Social Sciences.
The AHSS ECR Assembly is supported by the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences & the School of Arts and Humanities, and involves collaboration with the University’s Postdoc Academy and Research Culture Team.

About the Assembly
The Assembly is led by two early-career representatives who are always keen to hear from any early-career scholar, in any kind of post, from across the Schools of Art & Humanities or the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. They aim to represent and elevate ECR’s views and concerns to the highest academic levels in the Schools and beyond, building up the Assembly as a forum for change.
