Prosper

Prosper is an innovative approach to postdoc career development that seeks to unlock postdocs’ potential to thrive across multiple career pathways – both within and beyond academia. It was developed through the RED fund and is now funded by UKRI. At the heart of Prosper is recognition of the crucial role PIs/managers of researchers play in driving postdoc career development. Our model and resources were co-created with PIs. The PI Network provides a cross-institutional forum for PIs and managers of researchers to share best practice. The Prosper Portal Managers of Researchers section contains a wealth of resources for PIs looking to develop their leadership skills, and foster a positive, inclusive working environment. It is an ideal place to start for managers looking to fulfil their Concordat obligations to provide their researchers with a minimum of 10 days per year to engage with career development.
