Training and Development
We have a wide range of training and development opportunities for Early Career Researchers (ECRs)- you can view the opportunities available to you below.
As a new ECR you are also required to complete mandatory training, as directed by HR. For more information about mandatory training for staff please visit the HR webpages.
The Researcher Development programme, is a dedicated programme specifically designed for ECRs.
We have a dedicated careers coach with whom you are able to book a 1-2-1 appointment to discuss your next steps and options.
As well as the RDP programme, ECRs also have access to any of the courses ran centrally by the Learning and Development team.
The Open Research team supports Research Data Management and Open Access. That includes the institutional repository ORE, central open access funds and publishers’ agreements to publish in open access without costs.
As well as training provided by the University, ECRs also have access to the training provided by GW4.
The Library has created a dedicated LibGuide for ECRs to help them navigate the library resources.
