Support for DPhil Students

Researcher Development is a team within the Social Sciences Division (SSD) responsible for delivering transferable skills training and development opportunities to SSD doctoral researchers and early career researchers. We complement and supplement discipline-specific training within departments.

Use the filters below to explore the resources, events, opportunities, and networks available.

Making the most of what we have to offer

  1. Read the termcard at the beginning of the term and make your development plan. Events tend to book out quickly, so act sooner rather than later!
  2. Read the Researcher Development term-time weekly email newsletter. For running updates including additions to the termcard, or places having become available on courses through cancellations.
  3. Get in touch if you've got a training, networking or event idea you'd like to discuss. We're keen to support researcher-led initiatives where possible, and there are a range of ways in which we may be able to work together.
