At the Early Career Researchers’ lunch during ISCHE 38 in Chicago we discussed issues related to the dissemination of academic opportunities for ECRs.

The present list of websites is still under construction and we welcome suggestions of links that can be added as to make it geographically diverse and useful for early career researchers in history of education worldwide. These suggestions should be sent by email to information@ische.org with the subject “ECR Academic Opportunities”.
