Academic leader including research group leader
Academic leader including research group leader
Introduction
Consider here not only your role as a research leader but also how you combine it with your other academic roles and responsibilities. You can use the same approach suggested for establishing your development needs and plan for all research leadership roles. Additional points of reference to help with this include student education role descriptions and the UK Professional Standards Framework (PSF) for benchmarking success within HE teaching and learning. In what way do you aim to lead student education as well as research?

- Research culture at Leeds - self guided resource
- A toolkit to support researcher wellbeing (RES-WELL), practical strategies for UK research institutions, funders, and researchers in the context of emotionally or ethically challenging research - self guided resource
