Early Career Researcher representatives
The Early Career Researcher (ECR) Reps group reports in to the ECR Sub-Committee, giving ECRs a voice in University decision-making
ECR reps represent early career researchers at committee level at the University of Sussex. Drawn from each of the academic Schools, reps hold an ECR Forum in their School each term to garner views and bring the research community together.
Reps meet six times a year, chairing meetings on a rolling basis, and two members attend each ECR Sub-Committee meeting to raise issues for discussion. It's a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in committee work and build skills for your promotion application or ADR.
Many of the ECR reps also represent research staff on other University committees, such as the Research IT Committee, Summer of Research Working Group, Athena Swan Self-Assessment Teams and School Research Committees.

"The Research Staff Reps group is a good environment to exchange opinions and influence decisions that impact on our careers. By becoming a Research Staff Rep I feel that I have positively contributed to our diverse researcher community and gained a solid understanding of our wider roles within the University."
Dr Stefano Caserta
"I became a Research Staff Rep because I felt that there are issues specific to our work which need to be raised in a wider context. Being a Research Staff Representative is a great way to get to know the inner workings of the University better, as well as my fellow researchers."
Dr Christiane Oedekoven
