About Graduate Junction

Hello and thank you for visiting Graduate Junction. Graduate Junction was originally launched in May 2008 by two graduate researchers at the University of Durham (UK), Dan and Esther, working in their spare time.

We have been really encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive response from fellow researchers and academics alike. We've spent the last few months working really hard to find a sustainable future for Graduate Junction. Basically we believe that early career researchers are one of the most capable but undervalued demographics in the academic and commercial world. We are going to change that. Read about our plans below or click here to read in more detail why we started Graduate Junction

Connecting researchers with industry, social enterprise and each other

To date Graduate Junction has more than 13,000 researchers registered. Graduate Junction has been created for all Masters, PhD and postdoctoral researchers from any discipline and any country. Search the growing graduate research network to find other researchers who share your research interests regardless of which department, institution or country they work in.

Of course, we have all of the features of a network website. You can create a profile, search for others, send messages etc. BUT we want to offer more. Graduate Junction aims to help early career researchers form networks not only with each other but very soon we will be helping graduate researchers forge links and engage with business, industry and social enterprise. Over the next few months we will be working closely with other community providers and organisations to showcase the skills and talents of graduate researchers.

If you like the sound of our plans, then get online now and you will be ideally placed to make the most out of your research career.

We sincerely hope you enjoy and benefit from Graduate Junction.

Best Wishes,

Esther and Dan
