"I’m currently preparing an application for a UKRI policy fellowship. The role appeals to me because it’s not pure abstract research – it’s role that translates your research into concrete policy. I guess you could say it’s a hybrid role between academia and non-academia, or ‘academia-adjacent’. It’s a step into the world outside academia and Prosper helped give me the confidence and perspective to go for it." - Dr Shunqi Zhang, social sciences researcher and member of the University of Southampton's 2025 Prosper cohort
Dr Shunqi Zhang was part of the University of Southampton's first Prosper cohort. We caught up with her to talk about her career journey and her experience with Prosper - read more on our Portal here: bit.ly/4mjnSf9
