The BSI Careers in Immunology Workshop: Merseyside is a dedicated initiative by the British Society for Immunology to empower the next generation of scientists. Recognizing the diverse career paths available within the field—ranging from academic research and clinical practice to industry, science communication, and policy—this workshop provides comprehensive guidance for those at the start of their journey. Hosted at Liverpool John Moores University, the event brings together a panel of professionals who have successfully navigated various sectors of the immunological landscape.
The workshop begins with a series of "Career Lightning Talks," where speakers share their personal trajectories, the challenges they faced, and the skills they find most valuable in their current roles. Following these talks, participants can join breakout sessions focused on specific areas of interest, such as "Transitioning to Industry," "Securing Academic Fellowships," or "Science Writing and Public Engagement." A highlight of the day is the "CV and Grant Writing Clinic," where experienced mentors provide one-on-one feedback on resumes and project proposals, offering tailored advice to help attendees stand out in a competitive job market.
In addition to skill-building, the workshop focuses on the "hidden" aspects of career success: networking and mentorship. Attendees will learn effective strategies for building a professional network in the Merseyside area and beyond. The event concludes with a speed-networking session, allowing students and early-career researchers to connect directly with potential employers and mentors. By providing these resources, the British Society for Immunology ensures that the talent within Liverpool’s universities is well-equipped to drive the future of the discipline, regardless of the path they choose to follow.
