The British Academy Research Career Tracker (BARCT)

22/05/2025

The British Academy commissioned The Careers Research and Advisory Centre (CRAC) to conduct research and advise how to track the career pathways of its early-career researcher funding programmes Postdoctoral Fellowship (PDF) and British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award (BARSEA).

This first phase provides insights into the careers of award holders and evidence to demonstrate the impact of PDF and BARSEA on academia and society. For further information about BARCT, please visit The British Academy Research Career Tracker (BARCT) | The British Academy website.
