In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? This episode is part of Season 4, where we are focussing on Careers with Research. In this episode your host Ruth Winden is joined by Dr James Warren.
James is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Leeds who works in biomaterials. He left academia after his PhD to explore a career in consulting and returned to academia to continue his research in a promising new field in tissue engineering. James is a well-known, highly engaged member of the researcher community at Leeds, from faculty based postdoctoral groups to representing his community on the University's ECR Steering group.
Listen to our open and frank conversation about
- why it is important to stay open-minded about your career direction and what James has learnt about himself by working in consulting before returning to research
- how a demanding hobby he is deeply passionate about has helped him become a better researcher (and win records along the way)
- the benefits of reaching out to people and building a supportive community across campus, even if you think you don't have the time
- what researchers like James can do to co-create a positive, collaborative and productive research culture
- how to make the most of the many professional development opportunities open to researchers and how to choose them wisely.
