The Centre actively supports its early stage researchers in their career development. We are partner in several training initiatives such as the EDGE, ADMIRE and DeMANS MSCA postdoctoral Cofund programmes. Four of our junior researchers hold prestigious awards such as Royal Society University Research Fellowships. We run frequent research funding-related seminars for postdoctoral researchers and AMBER hosts an EPSRC/SFI Centre for Doctoral Training in the Advanced Characterisation of Materials.
