The Animal Welfare Research Network (AWRN) has announced that applications are now open for its Early Career (EC) Committee, with new roles available for members looking to make an impact in animal welfare.
Previously known as the Early Career Researcher Committee, the group has evolved to reflect the wider backgrounds of its community. The AWRN is now welcoming applications not only from researchers, but also from those working in animal care, charities, industry, and beyond.
Committee membership offers valuable opportunities to:
- Gain professional committee experience and enhance your CV
- Build networks across the animal welfare community
- Receive mentoring from senior academics
- Help shape the future direction of the AWRN
Available positions include:
- Equality, Diversity, Inclusivity & Accessibility Officer (2 roles)
- Non-research Representative
- Research Communication & Dissemination Officer
- General Members (with scope to create your own role)
Applications are open to all early career AWRN members, with the organisation encouraging those from underrepresented communities to apply.
Interested members are asked to send two short paragraphs (100 and 200 words) outlining their interest to awrn-manager@bristol.ac.uk by 24 September 2025.
