Researcher Career Development
This is the section of the website for research staff at Goldsmiths, where you will be able to see the latest news, events and other items of interest. As well as the help we offer with finding and applying for funding, we are very much interested in supporting researchers. At the moment we are looking into ways to improve the sense of community between contract researchers. If you are a contract researcher who would like to get involved in this we would very much like to hear from you so please get in touch.

Principal Investigators and Research Leaders Survey (PIRLS) 2011
The PIRLS survey has been developed by the Research Concordat Strategy Group and the CROS (Careers in Research Online Survey) Steering group. Its aim is to gather Principal Investigators and Research Leaders views on how they gained the experience and capabilities that have placed them at the forefront of their field, so that support for the promising researchers of today can be targeted to ensure they have the training needed to be the leaders of tomorrow. Responses to the survey will inform actions within Goldsmiths, the sector, and research funders.
PIRLS at Goldsmiths will be available for you to complete until 30 June 2011 and we will use the results to plan our provision for the development of researcher careers in the coming years.
The survey should only take around 15 minutes to complete, but your responses could have a very far reaching effect on the enhancement of researcher employment policies.
