Recruitment: what are you looking for in a new HDR? - HDR Supervision Development Workshop

Focus – Finding new HDRs to supervise is challenging in lots of ways. While there are the standard processes for ranking applicants and awarding scholarships, many new HDRs struggle as researchers. What else should we take into consideration when recruiting HDRs? During this workshop, we will:

• consider personal  characteristics of successful HDRs
• identify areas where equity issues might arise
• suggest strategies for recognising possible gaps in research skills

Lead – Prof Peter Kanowski, Director HDR Supervision, who has been supervising HDR candidates for 35 years. The workshop will draw from resources developed by Dr Cally Guerin, now at La Trobe University. Cally is currently the joint executive editor of Higher Education Research & Development and a founding co-editor of the Doctoral Writing blog.
