Following the completion of my studies at Birkbeck, my career path involves several key pursuits. Firstly, I will continue my role as a lecturer, teaching multiple modules at Birkbeck University of London throughout the academic year 2023-24. Additionally, I have taken steps toward securing a British Academy Post-doc Fellowship, having received support approval from the Department of Management at Birkbeck, and I am currently in the process of finalising my application for submission to the British Academy, where the final decision will be made in competition with hundreds of applicants in 2024. Moreover, I am actively working on my research endeavours, with one paper in the final stages for submission to a relevant journal and two others in the pipeline, focusing on topics such as the privatisation of PROs and their collaboration with SMEs. Furthermore, I’m contributing as a research assistant in a collaborative project on the use of crowdsourcing in public organisations. Lastly, I am contemplating establishing a research company as a sole trader (freelancer), aiming to offer research services to the public and private sectors.
