ESRC Brexit grants, EMBO fellowships, British Academy goes global, developing soft skills

With Brexit dominating the headlines even more than usual, we kick off this week with tips from a winner of the ESRC’s Governance after Brexit grant, which ran last year and will run again in 2019. We also feature advice from four former EMBO fellows, guidance on the British Academy’s Global Professorships scheme from the academy’s head of international, and a look at how early-career researchers can boost their soft skills.
