Everything you need, all in one place. Help us keep it that way.
Every week we go hunting. Funder newsletters, university web pages, LinkedIn, Bluesky, the lot. We pull together the jobs, events, courses and funding calls that early career dementia researchers actually need to see, and we list them in our Find space.
We’re reasonably good at it. But we’re never going to catch everything, and we shouldn’t have to. If you’re the one hiring the postdoc, running the workshop, or launching the call, you knew about it long before we did.
So add it yourself.
Four forms, that’s it
You don’t need to email us and wait. You don’t need to ask permission. Register an account, pick the right form, fill it in, and it goes live once we’ve given it a quick once-over:
- Post a job – PhDs, postdocs, fellowships, technicians, research assistants, professional services roles. It joins the jobs board.
- Submit an event – conferences, webinars, seminars, workshops, journal clubs. It joins the events calendar.
- Submit a funding call – grants, fellowships, travel awards, small pots. It joins the funding listings.
- Submit a course – masters, doctoral training, short courses and CPD. It joins our higher education course directory.
Everything sits behind one page if you’d rather start there: add to our listings.
There’s no charge for any of it. There never has been, and there isn’t going to be.
Where it actually goes
This isn’t a listing that sits in a corner gathering dust.
Anything you add gets picked up by our Weekly Bulletin, which lands in the inboxes of more than 5,500 subscribers every Friday morning. The website itself gets around 20,000 visitors a month. Our readers are mostly early career researchers, but there are plenty of PIs, research managers, funders and clinicians in there too, based right across the UK and around the world.
Listings also get indexed by Google, which is how a lot of people find a vacancy weeks after it was posted. Free advertising, in other words, from the people already looking.
Fancy writing for us?
We’re always after new bloggers, and you don’t need to be a writer to be one.
We publish blogs from researchers at every stage, on pretty much anything relevant to a research career. The science you’re excited about. The experiment that fell over. The conference you loved or hated. The thing nobody warned you about. The bit of admin that took three months and shouldn’t have.
Send us a rough idea, a paragraph, or a half-finished draft and we’ll help you shape it. Email dementiaresearcher@ucl.ac.uk.
And podcast ideas
Got a topic we should be covering on the podcast? A guest we should be chasing? Want to come on and talk about your own work?
Tell us here – it’s a short form, and we read every submission.
