Today I’m talking about open access and promoting your research under the watchful gaze of two of my favourite librarians. They’ll be telling people what they should do while I lob in anecdotes and anarchic suggestions of various kinds.
Should be fun…
Communication and dissemination of research
Tomorrow I’ll be giving a session to our EdD students on networking and online networking for research. So this is the 2016 version of my “why connect?” session.
Tomorrow I’ll be on Twitter asking all of my friends to demonstrate to the new cohort of students that social media is actually useful. – You have been warned!
A talk that I gave in Sheffield today about researchers and social media.
Earlier this year I was involved in a project looking at the recruitment and selection of postgraduates. We’ve just published the report.
Mellors-Bourne, R., Metcalfe, J., Pearce, E & Hooley, T. (2014). Understanding the recruitment and selection of postgraduate researchers by English higher education institutions. Cambridge: CRAC.
Hopefully it should be of interest to those of you who are interested in higher education research and policy. It also links in some ways to our earlier report on taught postgraduates.
The International Centre for Guidance Studies (iCeGS) at the University of Derby is looking to recruit a Researcher to support the growth and development of the Research Centre research and consultancy, working work closely with other researchers in the Centre on our expanding portfolio of local, national and international assignments.
We are looking for a researcher with a knowledge of a range of research methods, quantitative expertise would be particularly welcome, applicants should have a strong interest in careers and the relationship between education and work with a Masters degree in a relevant subject and preferably a Doctorate in educational or social research.

Note, for less experienced researchers we also have a Research Assistant vacancy available at the moment.
Tomorrow I talk to new University of Derby Ed.D. students about the idea of connecting to other researchers online. Will they listen? Will they actually do it?
We’ll find out tomorrow.
This is the second of the presentations that I’ll be giving today at the Larios Conference. It deals with researchers roles in relation to career guidance policy.
