Careers Adviser Bulletin for Faculty of Science
July 2014

PhD students - I think this may be the first Bulletin you have received, so welcome! I am the Careers Adviser for the Faculty of Science and aim to write a weekly bulletin to keep students (and staff) in the Faculty of Science informed about events, opportunities, job and deadlines that may be of interest. It is not intended to be comprehensive - more of a nudge to encourage you to check our events and vacancy listings and to keep an eye on what is happening and to raise awareness of useful resources; the future has a way of creeping up on us very quickly so it is important to do this throughout your time at Strathclyde rather than leave it to the last minute!

Throughout the summer this may become an occasional bulletin rather than a weekly one - apologies!
