Developing careers in Science
The School of Psychological Science is committed to providing a positive working environment for all. By developing good employment practices, we are tackling the unequal representation of all genders in a variety of job sectors. One of our goals is to tackle the under representation of women in research and teaching, and improving career progression for female academics, the School is contributing to the national goal of advancing women in sectors traditionally dominated by men.
Bristol Clear
The Bristol Clear project was initiated and has been championed by the Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Enterprise, Professor Nishan Canagarajah, who said: ‘Research staff are crucial to the success of our institution and its research endeavour. We pride ourselves in attracting the most talented researchers to Bristol and the aim of Bristol Clear is to attract them and nurture them with the support they need to be successful.’ The Bristol Clear project provides coaching, mentoring and career drop -in sessions, amongst other services.
