Research development by career stage
Development and training opportunities organised by career stage. Research students and staff require differing development and training depending on the point they have reached in their career. For doctoral students embarking on their PhD, they might require a grounding in the process of research and working effectively with their supervisors. For more experienced research staff, having already gained much of the knowledge and skills required to conduct research, the emphasis might shift towards working in and leading teams, advanced communication skills, mentoring, grant applications and writing for publication.
