Additional needs for equipment should be drawn to the attention of the Postgraduate Research Studies Officer for discussion and consideration by the faculty. Busaried and ESRC funded students are also provided with essential items of stationery, computer discs, pens and a photocopy card obtainable from the faculty office. Teaching Often research students want to undertake teaching to help develop their academic career. The faculty may be able to assist with this by offering some teaching. A separate visiting lecturer contract may be offered to students.
Payment is at the usual rates for visiting lecturers.
Teaching is allocated by the relevant Head of School. Heads of School are asked to supply the RSDC with details of the teaching responsibilities of research students. Regular workshops are organised each year for those new to teaching to provide support and advice. You are encouraged to attend these. The purpose of offering you teaching is to help you to develop the teaching skills associated with an academic post which are also relevant to your research interests and to enable you to earn additional income.
