Welcome

This time last year the Research Staff Office joined the Doctoral School. As part of ongoing improvements to our provision, the RSO now sits within Researcher Development, raising our visibility and enabling us to better support your career development and advocate for early career researchers (ECRs) more effectively across the University. We will be sharing more improvements in the new year.

Workshop Series Highlight:
Data Management

Research staff are expected to engage in a minimum of 10 days’ professional development pro rata, per year
Whether you're conducting quantitative, qualitative or desk-based research, you will be collecting and storing data. 

Proper data management helps meet funding requirements, ensures accuracy and reliability, enhances data security and minimises risk. It also enhances the integrity and reproducibility of your work. 

The Library delivers several bitesize workshops for ECRs on specific areas of data management. Visit our workshops webpage to register, and see the Library website for more on this topic.
