What does it cover?
This session may be of interest to those who attended the 'Introduction to research management and administration' seminar and who are looking for more detail on this subject. It is also aimed at more experienced staff looking to expand or refresh their knowledge.
An interactive session with plenty of opportunities for questions and group discussion. Speakers will include representatives from Personnel Services who have also had experience in departmental roles.
Learning outcomes
Participants will learn to spot key issues relating to staff employed on externally-funded research awards, including:
- managing expectations of time-required for recruitment
- long-term external research funding and employment
- fixed-term staff and employment rights
- where funder requirements and University employment terms don’t match up
- research groups on the move: transfers in and out
