Intentions and unintentions building research careers Professor Chris Husbands Vice Chancellor March 2016
'A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.’ George Orwell, All Art is Propaganda
a research career is a mixture of planning, lucky breaks, disappointment and unintended consequences. time is always the most precious resource team work, collaboration and large scale thinking matter almost any research career is driven by a curiosity about some things which enthuse and engage
four ideas
first degree in history doctorate in geography an early career teaching in urban comprehensive schools a second career researching and teaching in schools of education a third career in university leadership
bare outline
fifteen books 400 papers, presentations and reports 25 research projects Overall research income of ca £5m....but one project of £3m one project of £600,000 most projects small in scale
the outside story
….is not the whole story
…why do some things work and others don’t work: in similar and different settings…and what can we do about it?
…what is the question which really drives and puzzles and enthuses you?
…be willing to unpack your interests in ways which fit funder priorities
…time is the most precious resource….
…teams matter…
…methods matter…
…systematic inquiry made public…
…research for public good…
Paul Harrison, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research & Innovation

Research CPD Pathways
A framework of development offerings under 25 themes
Accessible by anyone undertaking or interested in undertaking
research - research-active staff, doctoral researchers, research
support staff
Thematic rather than linear - needs-based and individually-tailored
Co-ordinated by the Researcher Development Adviser in RIO, but
incorporating a wide range of development, delivered at different
levels and by different people
Designed to make training and development more strategic and
more accessible
What is SHaRD?

The CPD Cycle
Research CPD Pathways
RDF Planner
• An online system for managing development – skills audits,
development plans, accessing development and then recording
CPD (ePortfolio) - SHU has institutional subscription
• Compulsory for all doctoral researchers and available to staff on
request
• Guidance Document (for doctoral researchers and supervisors):
https://shardprogramme.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/doctoral-
skills-training-guidance-15-161.pdf
Research CPD Pathways
Annual appraisal should be equally weighted between performance
review and development planning - career focus as much as on current
role/project
Appraisal participation rate - SHU 88.1%, UK HE - 59.5%
Found it useful - SHU 56.6%, UK HE - 44.1%
Mentoring informally - approach someone senior, outside of line
management chain, who you respect and admire. Or your line
manager can help find one - a peer of theirs from a cognate
section/department
Mentoring formally - schemes may be organised locally (e.g. PSP,
DLC, ADRC) or sometimes centrally by HR (usually an E&D
intervention e.g. )
