Researcher Development at Essex

There are a range of researcher development opportunities for our researchers. These are underpinned by a Researcher Development Framework with input from colleagues across our community to provide a thorough career focal point for our researchers. 

Core areas of practice

The framework is informed by key areas of practice that have been identified by our researchers. The framework consists of four core areas of research practice:

  • enhancing professional skills
  • securing resources for research
  • managing and leading research projects
  • public engagement, knowledge exchange and impact

Our commitment to developing researchers is also based on our commitment to the Concordat and HR Excellence in Research Award commitments.
