Reimagining Recruitment

Driving culture change surrounding academic recruitment, especially at early career stages.

Budget

£650,000

Project status

In progress

Duration

1 Oct 2018 to 28 Feb 2022

The Reimagining Recruitment project conducted a programme of research into the experiences and attitudes of early career academics and their potential future employers, funded by the EPSRC Inclusion Matters scheme. This scheme had the aim to improve equality, diversity and inclusion within the engineering and physical sciences. Our , explored how to drive culture change surrounding academic recruitment, especially at early career stages and from this we are making evidence-based policy change recommendations.

The research was embedded within, and disseminated through, the centrepiece activity: an innovative programme of collaborative incubator events. Incubators are domain-specific workshops, run by experts in that field, attended by academics at all career stages who formulate and/or solve interesting problems. The Covid-19 pandemic severely affected the programme of incubators and, although some moved to an online format, the number and scope were curtailed.
