Technician Career Pathways at Edinburgh: have your say! | Edinburgh Bioimaging

Career Pathway Working Group, convened in January 2025 have been discussing Technician Career Pathways at Edinburgh, and now they are wanting our input.

There are two ways you can get involved

We are looking for your input to shape a vision for technician career pathways at Edinburgh, in particular your ideas about how your career journey could be enhanced by the University. We have 2 opportunities for you:

1. Complete a questionnaire

Thanks to those of you who completed the very short survey we circulated earlier in the summer. This has helped to inform a more detailed set of questions which we are hoping you might have 5-10 minutes to answer to give us a more comprehensive understanding of your perspectives on career pathways.
