KCL Physics actions to promote and address equality and support researchers:
Our group is committed to diversity and especially welcomes applications from female and minority ethnic candidates and other under-represented groups in physics.
- KCL holds Athena Swan institutional Silver Award and the Physics department hold a departmental Silver Award (awarded 2024)
- Post-docs and fellows are encouraged to attend departmental activities including staff meetings, academic job interview presentations and social activities, and are provided with paid opportunities to teach tutorials to gain teaching experience.
- A post-doc tutor acts as a point of contact, shares relevant information on fellowships, mentoring and training opportunities with the researcher community and arranges a post-doc forum to facilitate networking and training.
- All post-docs and fellows are included in the performance development review and assigned a reviewer who is not their line manager.
- Postdoctoral researchers and fellows are allocated 10 days pro rata to engage with professional development and have access to a huge variety of training courses through the Centre for Research Staff Development (CRSD). Training is delivered through the medium of workshops, confidential one-to-one sessions and on- line seminars across nine areas – academia, careers, communication, IT, leadership, personal effective- ness, wellbeing, statistics/data management and writing/publishing.
