Dear Colleagues,
Many thanks for your feedback on the Frontiers, it’s great to see the ideas developing. If you’re considering going up for promotion this year please leave plenty of time to have discussions with your supervisor and Head. Those going for C, D or E should also talk with and Dean and me. The next promotion round will be opening in July.
Lastly, I’m been having discussions with some Early and Mid-career researchers about building professional skills outside those you naturally develop within your role. If you have any thoughts about courses you would like to do please drop me an email or speak with me.
Have a great weekend,
Tim |
