Career development
Academic career paths differ from country to country, even within Europe. LERU, the League of European Research Universities, has created academic career maps to indicate how researchers can progress from doctoral studies to professorships, and the types of positions available.
The maps show the different research positions available in an institution, the levels of responsibility, how they are funded at each stage and how a researcher may progress from one level to the next. Maps for 9 European countries including the UK can be accessed here.
