Academia is big business - complete with its own glass ceiling. This book helps women researchers navigate those ivory towers with confidence, clarity, and a plan.The UNIque Guide for Women gives women in research the career toolkit they were never handed at the start of their PhD. It helps readers identify their strengths, own their achievements without apology, build visibility in their field, and make proactive career decisions - whether they stay in academia or step beyond it.
Rooted in over 20 years of working with women researchers at institutions including Imperial College London, King's College London, and the University of Cambridge, this is evidence-based career thinking wrapped in genuine understanding of what academic life is actually like. In the words of one reader: "Not just for women (but shh, don't tell everyone!), this is a thought-provoking, hand-holding and challenging guide to thinking deeply about what you want from your career, in research and beyond."
