About Researcher Development

"It is important for postdoctoral researchers to be able to develop individual career paths, reflecting different career destinations – Industrial, Academic and Research Associate – open to them." Sir Gareth Roberts

The University is committed to providing first class development and career support to its researchers underpinned by adoption of the Principles of the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers in full. This ambition is made explicit in the University’s recently published Research Strategy and in the University’s Concordat Implementation Plan.

The Faculty Engineering & Physical Sciences aims to create an environment in which researchers can excel and reach their full potential by offering them a full range of personal, professional and career development opportunities through the Researcher Development Programme.

Researcher Development is about your professional development as an independent researcher.
