Hello everyone,
I’ve been a Research Administrator for 2 years now but in the current role at University of Edinburgh (School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences) just over 1 year. I found changing the employing university after my 1st year in the job an eye opening experience. I learnt how different institutions and even schools within them might have different approaches to dealing with research admin and management. It made me realise how much there is still to learn about my profession and, although a little overwhelmed with the format of it, I like a more structured way of learning about different aspects of the job that this course offers.
My introduction is way overdue, I know, but I am looking forward to meeting you all in January and sharing our best practices too 🙂
Happy holidays!
