About this Event
What is Prosper?
There are over 50,000 postdoctoral researchers in the UK. These are a highly skilled, adaptable and creative individuals. And only 10% of them will go on to pursue an academic career long-term.
Working with a range of employers and partners including Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Good Things Foundation, The University of Liverpool is leading a new initiative called Prosper. The project aims to open up the huge talent pool that exists within the postdoctoral research community to the benefit of organisations like yours.
We are creating a new approach to postdoc career development that will equip postdocs with the skillsets, attributes and mindsets required to thrive in multiple careers pathways, including the Government and Non-Profit sector.
