Pathways to FoDOCS

 

 

 

For most of us, careers are likely to be the sum of multiple facets of our lives which need to be prioritised or considered – where to live, work life balance, caring responsibilities, as well as what opportunities are available at a given time.

For International Women’s Day, a cross-section of women from our faculty shared the pathway they took (and are still taking) in their career and study.
These stories cover a range of career pathways all the way from undergraduate study to Emeritus professorships, from working in labs as a technician, to delivering clinical teaching to students. From balancing the demands of postgraduate life as well as a CEO of a refugee charity, to tracing the path to become Dean of Research, each story is unique, taking twists and turns along the way.
At the same time, they all share common themes and interlacing experiences, and we hope you will be able to draw insight from them, regardless of where you are in your own pathway.
