ABOUT
What you will study
We aim to train multidisciplinary researchers capable of working as independent investigators and/or academics across the public and private sectors.
The Faculty of Life Sciences is the largest in the University with an active PGR community. The University strategy is implemented at Faculty level within an institutional PGR framework and is in line with QAA/RCUK recommendations. PGR students are allocated to a supervisory team comprising a principal investigator of the project, a second supervisor, and an independent academic mentor.
Students are required to undertake training in scientific writing, producing a critical appraisal of research in their field within their first six months, and additionally, have access to Master’s (level 7) modules to enhance skills relevant to their project.
Throughout the course of study, students are responsible for developing a Personal Development Folder which incorporates monitoring and progression requirements as well as generic and specific training records.
Students have several opportunities to present their work to their peers within the Faculty at a regular research seminar series, and at a dedicated symposium aligned with the Faculty Research Open Day. Further, PGR students attend regular journal clubs and skills workshops within the School of Optometry and Vision Science.
PGR students within the School are typically given the opportunity to contribute to practical and/or clinical teaching on our undergraduate optometry courses.
Research
Postdoctoral Researchers follow a career staff development plan including the “Realising Your Research Potential” cohort training programme. This programme has been developed for early career researchers and academics who have the interest and potential to engage in research activity.
Training is aimed to help kick-start their research career by development of the skills needed as well as connecting PDRs to a network of colleagues from across the University including access to the University-wide events currently organised in our annual seminar programme: Costing your Research Grant, Research Ethics Approval Process, European funding – visit by UKRO Representative, Winning Grant Funding, Research Professional Workshop, Knowledge Transfer Partnership Information Session and Yorkshire Innovation Fund Information Session.
