Call for STEM Principal Investigators: Improving Postdoc Recruitment – Residential Session

📢 Calling all UK-based STEM Principal Investigators
Would you like to improve postdoc recruitment and explore the impact of AI with other PIs across UK Universities?

We’re now hosting an in-person, two-day Practice Studio in Cambridge on 29th and 30th June 2026, where we’ll work with Principal Investigators to explore two key questions:

⭐ How can the UKRI Narrative CV be improved for postdoc recruitment?

⭐ What impact could AI have in reducing the time needed to longlist Early Career Research candidates?

The Practice Studio will build on the results that the ARRC Team have produced from the 3-year randomised controlled trial at the University of Cambridge, examining the use of Narrative CVs in STEM postdoc recruitment. The results show mixed Principal Investigator views, suggesting a need for more effective recruitment approaches.

The Outputs from the Practice Studio will inform a Policy Brief aimed at improving Early Career Researcher recruitment.

🧳 We will cover your travel, accommodation, and subsistence and you will enjoy a dinner at one of the Cambridge Colleges!
