The John Vane Academy
John Vane Leadership & Management Scheme
About the Scheme
The JVA is delighted to announce a new initiative, offering bursaries to attend leadership and/or management training courses. We hope this will help our members to feel more confident when moving from early career researcher to more senior roles like team leader or lab manager.
The details are still being finalised and we would love to hear from you to determine the most beneficial opportunities. Once we have a final shortlist of management training programmes, shaped by our members, we will plan the new scheme and invite your applications!
Please email the WHRF Programmes Manager, Mrs Amanda Craddock (a.craddock@qmul.ac.uk) if this sounds like something you may be interested in and would like to share your thoughts.
