My role as Researcher Developer (Research Staff) is to design, deliver and facilitate development opportunities, events and resources for research staff and academics.
Specific main development activities I work on include The Academy’s flagship Making an Impact which runs during May and June, National Postdoc Appreciation Week in late September, WriteFest throughout November and the annual summer Celebrating Researchers event.
A major part of my role involves working closely with the Research Staff Association Steering Committee to facilitate RSA events, including the annual Research Staff Conference and the regular RSA Lunch & Learn seminars.
