WELCOME

Welcome to the website for Recent Appointees in Materials Science. RAMS is one of a number of organisations set up in recent years to support new appointees to academic posts in particular subject areas. Our aim is to support those at the beginning of their career by providing a forum for networking. Balancing teaching and administration with trying to establish a research group can be a daunting task; RAMS seeks to provide a medium where new appointees can share their experiences and learn from their peers. So if you are a new research fellow, lecturer or a postdoc looking to have a career in any area of materials science, you may benefit from being part of the RAMS community.

Central to what we do is our annual conference. In 2011, the RAMS conference will be held in Bristol at Wills Hall and will feature speakers including Professor Stephen Mann FRS and Professor Dame Athene Donald. There will be an opportunity for early career researchers to present their work as oral contributions or posters and a special session covering other issues that may be of interest to young academics.Registration will be open soon and full details will be available shortly. We will also be adding a News and Events page, where you can find information about other conferences, meetings and funding opportunities that may be useful for those in the early stage of their career. If you have an item that you think the RAMS community might be interested in, please let us know and we will do our best to advertise it.

This website also seeks to provide links to useful information a new appointee in Materials Science might need. If you think there is something missing then please let me know and I will do my best to add it.
