Part of a series of lunchtime sessions aiming to give practical advice on how to find jobs, get jobs, apply for research funding, and match your skills and interests to short- and long-term career possibilities – both in academia and in a variety of related activities. Each session opens with short talks from a small panel of experts on their own experience and the general state of the field. The panellists will then take questions from the audience, with the opportunity for general discussion.

This session will compare job prospects, funding mechanisms and working conditions across higher education, traditional museums and public engagement institutions, and other organisations with a role for historical research or teaching.

The session is aimed particularly at graduate students, early career researchers, and those seeking to enter the field for the first time, but all are welcome to attend.
