The BERA ECR Career Development Fellowship: 2021 fellows share their stories

The BERA Career Development Fellowship is a flexible package of benefits intended to support early career researchers (ECRs) in the first three years following the completion of their doctoral thesis. The fellowship is aimed at ECRs who are precariously employed (that is, on zero hours or temporary contracts), and it provides opportunities to support their development as scholars during what can sometimes be the challenging transition from PhD student to academic researcher. In this blog, the three researchers awarded the fellowship in 2021 share their stories of how the fellowship has supported them.
