Dementia Researcher

Welcome to our mini-series on post-doccing in the 21st century, where we discuss the highs, the lows, the problems and the potential solutions. In this series Dr Yvonne Couch, ARUK Research Fellow from the University of Oxford is joined by Dr Kritika Samsi, Senior Research fellow at King’s College London, Dr Sarah Kate Smith, Research Fellow at Sheffield Hallam and one of our new regular bloggers at Dementia Researcher Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali at the University of Glasgow. If you’ve not listened to either of the first two episodes go back and have a gander. In the first we our great postdoc panel give advice to early career researchers based on their experiences and in the second they talk about how their experiences have affected them and what they enjoy, as well as what we don’t, about life in academia. In this, the final episode, Yvonne, Kritika, Kamar and Sarah talk about some of the problems they bought up last time in more depth and contemplate what needs to happen in order for things to change.
