Calling all PhD and Master’s students, Academic Associates, GTA’s, post-graduate, and early career researchers.

The York chapter for Pint of Science UK (https://pintofscience.co.uk/) is seeking enthusiastic team members to join the York organising committee for the 2023 event. Next year we are celebrating science by hosting a plethora of exciting research talks in venues across York. Between May 22th-24th 2023, York researchers will have the opportunity to present their research as part of this global celebration of science. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate impact, build up scholarship, engage in knowledge exchange, and contribute to outreach activities.

- Postgraduate Pedagogies
At Postgraduate Pedagogies Journal we are currently working on our third volume of academic articles authored by postgraduate researchers and academics working with them. We aim to publish this summer.
An opportunity to contribute to the design of the journal has come about, and so we are reaching out to Doctoral Schools and Graduate Colleges throughout the UK in search of a piece of refreshing design or artwork to dress the forthcoming volume of our journal.
A bit of background: Postgraduate Pedagogies is an online open-access journal devoted to articulating and sharing the perspectives of graduate teaching assistants (GTAs). We publish texts that convey the experiences, reflections, and analyses of current and recent graduate teaching assistants, those who work with GTAs, and those who support them. The journal publishes a variety of contributions, including Reflective Essays, Opinion Pieces, Case Studies, Book Reviews, and Technology Reviews.
This competition is a call to doctoral researchers and early career researchers (up to a maximum of three years postdoctoral) who are currently based in the UK, with an eye for design. There are three prizes up for grabs, and all artworks will be judged by a panel of renowned artists and scholars (to be confirmed).
First prize:
•artwork printed on the front and back covers of Postgraduate Pedagogies Journal Vol. 3
•£200 prize money
2 Runners-up:
•artwork printed inside the Postgraduate Pedagogies Journal Vol. 3
