2nd ECPR MENTORING SESSION ON CAREER DEVELOPMENT FOR EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS

September 6, 2017, from 3 to 6 pm.
Institute for Social Research, Munthes gate 31, Oslo
 
We kindly invite postdoctoral researchers (or early career scholars in a similar stage) attending the ECPR General Conference in Oslo to participate in a mentoring session on career development. The event is organized by the Standing Group on Participation and Mobilization, in collaboration with the Standing Groups on Political Parties, Political Networks, Political Violence, Interest Groups, and Environmental Politics.

This event will take place on ‘day zero’ (September 6) of the next ECPR General Conference in Oslo from 3 to 6 pm. Note that the event does not overlap with the official conference program, as ‘day zero’ is exclusively reserved for registration. If you choose to attend, please make sure you arrive in Oslo on time. We hope that after a successful first edition last year, we will have another useful session this year.

Program:
From 3 – 4 pm: Feedback session on participants’ post-doc grant applications (each SG will provide one or more experts to provide feedback)
From 4 – 5 pm:  Info session on applying for funding (Dr. Sofia Vasilopoulou)
From 5 – 6 pm: Info session on getting your work published in book form (Prof. Alexandra Segerberg, ECPR Press)

You can register for the program by sending an email to Joost de Moor (j.de.moor@keele.ac.uk). Please do so as soon as possible, but no later than August 23, and when making travel arrangements, please keep in mind that the event starts at 3pm. Please also indicate whether you want to receive feedback on your funding application. In case you do, we ask you to restrict the proposal to no more than two pages and we invite you to send your proposals to Joost de Moor, also no later than August 23.
