In three words or phrases: Supportive, goal-driven, organised.
Provision of Training
You will be guided for your technical training at first, leading to more independence later. Your training will be supervised predominantly by me or my experienced people in the lab.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I will expect you to take full ownership of your progression but come to me when you need help troubleshooting.
I like to be kept up to date, and will expect to see evidence of method development/data generation results on a weekly basis.
I am here for advice and guidance to help you reach the goals you set for yourself.
Communication
I am happy to discuss any issues that are impacting your ability to fulfil your potential or my/our expectations.
PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me:
In a group meeting
At least once per week
In year 1 of PhD study
At least once per week
In year 2 of PhD study
At least once per week
In year 3 of PhD study
At least once per fortnight
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.
