In three words or phrases: collaborative, goal-driven, supportive.
Provision of Training
My post docs/PhD students and I will supervise 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 we have set. I like to be kept up to date regarding method development or data generation results on a weekly/fortnightly basis.
Communication
The team has a WhatsApp group chat with which we regularly communicate during the week. I am happy to discuss any issues that are impacting your ability to fulfil your potential.
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 fortnight
In year 3 of PhD study
At least once per fortnight
Meetings will mainly be face to face, and I am usually contactable for an instant response 3 or 4 days a week.
Working Pattern
Certain tasks in my lab need to occur at set times, and students need to be able to commit to a rota/timetable shared with other members of the team.
Notice Period for Feedback
I need at least 2 weeks' notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
