The ESRC Postdoctoral fellowship was a great opportunity to work more closely with my PhD examiners and turn my research into publications. The Anthropology Department at Durham is large and staff are very supportive, so there was also a huge breadth of expertise to draw upon.
This scheme is to support recent PhD graduates in consolidating their doctoral research and advancing their careers. This scheme offers a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to build on their achievements through publications, network development, and a range of development-oriented activities.
