Research Skills

What skills does it take to become a researcher? What skills do you gain after researching (e.g. undergraduate research experience to PhD)?

What are the attributes of successful researchers?

I'm not claiming to know all the answers, but articulating these skills is important in enabling you to get new opportunities (e.g. scholarships, jobs both in and beyond academia). In this subsection, I am going to write down and link to a few things that may help my past, current or future students to promote themselves and their skills.

(Neither do I claim to have mastered all of these...)

Please look inside the sub-pages of this tab.

For convenience, these are currently:

- Skills & Attributes: General
- Skills: My Group
- Evidence and Improving (provides examples of evidence you can use to demonstrate you have specific skills and attributes, and identifies ways you might go about developing/ enhancing skills and attributes etc.
- Vitae & Other Opinions

What can this list be used for?

This list can be used to help you create a written account of your strengths and career/ development goals/priorities in scholarship, funding, job applications etc.

You should aim to link skills/ attributes (both general skills/attributes and skills/knowledge more relevant in my group) with evidence.

Also, this is probably a useful list for people wanting to work with me. :)
