Provision of Training
I prefer to take responsibility for your technical training at first, leading to more independence later.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I will set out my expectations of your progression on monthly basis and will expect to see evidence of method development/data generation results. I will guide you to achieve these targets.
Communication
The team has a WhatsApp group chat with which we regularly communicate during the week and weekends. Whilst I expect you to keep up with my/ team communications I will expect you to manage your work/life balance.
PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me:
In a group meeting
At least once a week
In year 1 of PhD study
At least once a week
In year 2 of PhD study
At least once a week
In year 3 of PhD study
At least once a week
These meetings will be mainly face to face, and I am usually contactable for an instant response on every working day.
Working Pattern
The timing of work in my lab is completely flexible, and (other than attending pre-arranged meetings), I expect students to manage their own time.
Notice Period for Feedback
I need at least 2 weeks' notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
