Research can be a difficult, and sometimes, lonely endeavour. Thrive and Survive hopes to address this and reassure researchers that whilst they are working as individuals, they are also part of something bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Workshop Dates:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Managing Research Obstacles: Staying on Track Your Way<\/strong><br>31<sup>st<\/sup> May 2023, 13:00-15:00, Online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Post-PhD Pathways: What are my options?<\/strong><br>28<sup>th<\/sup> June 2023, 13:00-15:00, Online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thriving and Surviving the Summer as a Researcher*<\/strong><br>9<sup>th<\/sup> August 2023, 13:00 \u2013 15:00, Online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*We are currently recruiting volunteers for the following three dates, however, there will be further opportunities in the coming terms to engage with other sessions over the academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Your Involvement<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each workshop runs for two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of your involvement in the workshop, you will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Speak with the Thrive and Survive Coordinator and other volunteers before the session to get a sense of the topics that may be discussed in the session<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speak during the session, giving an overview of yourself and your own PhD journey and experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Answer questions as part of a panel Q&amp;A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you feel that you would like to contribute to the vibrant research community we have here at York by taking part in a session, please contact our Thrive and Survive Coordinator, Zara Stubbs via email, at <a href=\"mailto:pgr-thriveandsurvive@york.ac.uk\">pgr-thriveandsurvive@york.ac.uk<\/a> or on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhDSurvival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@PhDSurvival<\/a>.
