They will support the design, development, and delivery of initiatives and objectives across our doctoral training programmes that instil a positive research culture and inclusion.

They will work to develop, evaluate, deliver, and support wider EDI initiatives within the Doctoral School, and be a part of the Doctoral School Committee. Further, they will be a member of the Doctoral School Review group as we review our remit and provision, establishing a Doctoral School prepared for the 2030s, addressing PGRs, institutional, and sector needs.
