Prosper. Unlocking postdoc career potential

Based in The Academy, Prosper is a new approach to career development that unlocks postdocs’ potential to thrive in multiple career pathways.

 

Our ultimate goal is to open up the huge talent pool that exists within the postdoctoral research community, to the benefit of postdocs themselves, Principal Investigators, employers and the wider UK economy. We will achieve this by co-creating a sector-leading postdoc career development model which will be rolled-out across UK HEIs from Summer 2023.

Learn more about Prosper's model and its impact via our recently published paper: Prosper - A New Model for Postdoc Career Development

Prosper is led by the University of Liverpool, working alongside our partners at the University of Manchester and Lancaster University, and is funded by the Research England RED fund.
