This in-person induction is run by the Researcher Academy

Researcher Academy courses are in high demand. Most are offered in both semesters, allowing you to attend at a time of the year that best suits you.

Target audience: New and relatively new (within 12 months of appointment) research-focused staff – including but not limited to Research Assistants/Associates, Postdoctoral Researchers, Research Fellows, Fellows, Senior Research Fellows and Principal Research Fellows.

Description

The aim of this induction is to help new and relatively new research-focused staff understand and integrate into the wider research culture at the University of Nottingham. It will introduce research-focused staff to the range of research, professional and personal development opportunities available to them at the University of Nottingham; it will also serve as an opportunity to network with research-focused colleagues and meet key university staff involved in supporting researchers.

The session will provide:

• An overview of the research culture and environment at the University of Nottingham;
• Information about the structure and organisation of the University of Nottingham;
• A summary of current national and university research strategies and policies, and their relevance to the roles and responsibilities of research-focused staff; and
