Provision of Training
I'm still working on the bench and will take responsibility for your technical training at first, leading to more independence later.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I am here for advice and guidance to help you reach the goals you set for yourself.
Communication
I have an open door policy so you can come to see me anytime.
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 (if required) every working day.
Working Patterns
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 1 week’s notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
