Personal Statement
Please provide a statement of your reasons for wanting to become an Honorary
Research Associate:
As a dedicated Early Career Researcher who has spent the last year publishing, organising a
three day international conference in London, establishing the ‘Mary Elizabeth Braddon
Association’ and curating an up-coming exhibition at Hull History Centre, I am re-applying
for the post of Honorary Research Associate because I understand and value the support that
the well-established English department at Hull continue to offer me in the difficult post-doc
stage. With the job climate so competitive, an Honorary Research Associate position will
provide me vital access to the University’s library so I can continue my research and further
my publications – an essential requirement for my personal aspirations of gaining a position
as a lecturer or tutor. My goals for this next year are to complete my special issue for
Supernatural Studies, and develop my monograph application, for which I would appreciate
the continuing advice and guidance of my supervisor and other friendly and engaging
members of staff who will also keep me motivated and stimulated. Having the University’s
affiliation will thus stand me in good stead for my continuing position as an early career
researcher because it will keep me engaged with the academic environment (attending guest
lectures and seminars) and motivated in my chosen career.
