Career Development Workshops for Early Career Women Scientists

These skills based workshops are delivered jointly with Schlumberger Cambridge Research and are for early stage independent women scientists (e.g. research fellows) from both the University of Cambridge and Schlumberger Cambridge Research. The aims of the workshops are to foster links between the two organisations and encourage discussion of common career issues for women.

Two workshops were held in the 2009/10 academic year, the first was on ‘Working Smarter, Not Harder’, and was facilitated by Dr Suzanne Doyle-Morris who specialises in training women in traditionally male dominated fields. The second was entitled ‘Building Confidence in the Workplace’ and was facilitated by Madeleine Morgan, the aim of the workshop was to provide participants with the skills to look, sound and feel more confident in the workplace and was designed for early career women scientists to help develop confidence and motivation to seek promotion, progress in an organisation and be assertive.

The programme for the 2010/11 academic year is being developed at present and more details will be posted soon.
