Jason: Has anyone gone to the Developing an Academic Career lecture? Could you share notes please? :D
Adrianne: I took some notes but they are not very specific. It showed three different "pathways" you could try and approach your future academic career with. the 1) "do a post doc with a bigger project supervised by a PI" approach, the 2) "Independent Research Fellowship (=be your own PI)" approach and the do first one and then the other approach.. The general rule seemed to be that you had to have at least 2 publications to get a Fellowship(option2), but that your skills might be more important to be hired in the option1-approach. And, obviously: there is a tradeoff between using the time to finish your phd, to publish papers and to apply for independent research fellowship/project-funded post-docs.
Adrianne: I was expecting a few more concrete hints on where to go to/look for things and where to apply to, the stuff I have written down for that is: Where to find funding? ResearchProfessional.? Mailing lists? Carreer Central
Adrianne: re short term fundings: there are emergency fundings  from a certain trust, but I didn't pick up on the name, and the ESRC impact acceleration grant.
Angelica: This was the Newton Trust, I think
Angelica: They suggested starting applying by August roughly
Angelica: And for the independent fellowships to talk to Susan Pearce to first be nominated at the department level when you need hosts, and also to apply to a few different institutions as hosts in the first instance. Susan Pearce for Cambridge, but then write to potential guides or whatever for other places.
Jason js looking for some lecture notes. Adrianne offers some notes she took whereas Angelica remembers some more related facts.
