It is supported by the UK Research Staff Association and aims to provide a supportive researcher-led community that facilitates networking and development opportunities.

Crucially, LURSA provides a collective voice to advocate for positive change and influence University policy on issues that matter most to research staff.

All research staff at the University are welcome to join LURSA. To express interest please complete the short online form which will be checked on a rolling basis.

Furthermore, members of LURSA will be invited to put themselves forward to form the next LURSA committee. Various leadership and operational positions will be available including School representatives. More information will be shared in due course.

If you have any questions, please contact Dr Katryna Kalawsky (Programme Director Researcher Development Pathways).
