Meet the Scientist: Dr Leila Moura

Description

Dr Leila Moura is a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow based at Queen’s University Belfast who first came to this corner of the UK through a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship in 2016. I recently had the pleasure to speak with Dr Moura and hear her story. From training as a chemist in her home country of Portugal. Through challenges she faced when she first went abroad. To how she secured her tenure-track principal investigator position.

With over ten years’ experience building international networks and securing career-changing fellowships, Dr Moura has a wealth of advice to share with early career researchers ready to embark on their first international adventure.
