by Stewart Robertson

Hello all, 7 people are confirmed for the 19th, so think we'll stick with that date. If you haven't yet responded and can make the 19th, please let me know as soon as possible. Planning to book a local venue from around 4 PM, with the idea of heading there directly from the lab. Best Regards, Stewart [cid:243303c1-a80e-46b5-8bba-a32efde1e594] ________________________________ Scotland's University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

Today’s lab

by Till Stowasser

Dear Phd lab, Something has come up at home, so I won’t be able to come in to Stirling today. I will be joining today’s lab remotely. Can someone set up things on the screen so people can dial in? If in doubt, ask Stewart, our IT champion. Connecting the hdmi and usb calendars simultaneously to Kevin’s adapter worked great last week. See you later.

This Friday at Stirling: Event with Amy Hume, Senior Behavioural Insights Associate at Ofcom

by Till Stowasser

Dear PhD Lab, There is another relevant event happening at Stirling this Friday. I can’t go myself as I just learned about it today and I am already booked up for Friday but it’s something you should consider attending. Amy Hume, a Senior Behavioural Insights Associate at Ofcom is coming to our campus for a careers event. Amy did Stirling's Behavioral Science MSc in 2015/16 and she has had a pretty impressive career as an Applied Behavioural Scientist since. If you can, join this event (this Friday at 2pm in Lecture Theatre B4). Amy will talk about career opportunities at Ofcom, their projects and their methods. The event itself is for a general audience (not particularly Behavioural Science), but given Amy's background I am sure Behavioural Science will feature prominently. If anything, approach Friday as a networking event where you can introduce yourself to Amy and talk about your research if the chance arises. Amy will likely visit us again in January (this time with a more Behavioural Science focus) so it may be useful if she already knows who you are and what you do by then. Who knows, maybe this can lead to a collaborative project if the stars align. Best, Till ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

Training needs assessment (TNA) and IAS paperwork

by Till Stowasser

Dear PhD Lab students, I talked to IAS and they said that your student-supervisor concordat and PGR data sheet are still not ready yet but will be soon. Please let your supervisors know once you receive them, so we can fill them in together. In the meantime, let's tackle your training needs assessment (TNA). Stirling doesn't have its own forms for that, so I stole the template that SGSSS uses. It's a simple enough form that I attach here. Could I ask all students to fill this in and send to your supervisory team? We will then schedule another round of meetings (separate from the 1:1 meetings currently underway) to discuss your TNAs. If applicable, please also add any University-level modules you feel you would benefit from. It's typically very easy to give you audit student status at Stirling. When it comes to modules at other Scottish Universities, it's less straightforward but we have been successful in the past with that as well.

Agenda for this and next week's PhD Lab sessions

by Till Stowasser

Dear PhD Lab, 1. Here is the weekly reminder for our PhD lab this week. * Date: Thursday, 14th November 14:00-15:30 * Room: 4B96 * Agenda: It would be good to have a detailed merry-go-round where all students report on what they are currently working on, if they are “stuck” or feel they are on track, etc. 2. On the back of this, I also would like to schedule 1:1 meetings between me and all students I am (co-)supervising, as it’s been a while since we had one of those. Ideally, the co-supervisors would be part of that. * So, Jayne, Jasmine, Katie, Kevin, Liz, Lizzy, and Stewart, could you please let me know your availability for the following dates by responding to this doodle poll * https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bmG11Y0e * Please check all the dates that would work for you, to maximize the likelihood of finding dates that work for co-supervisors as well 3. Other events this week: * Wednesday, 12:00-13:00 – School Assembly (LT 2V1) * If you can make it to campus, I would encourage you to take part to learn more about the governance of our institution 4. PhD Labs next two weeks: * Next week, Kevin will walk us through his ideas of Project 2 * Who would like to “present” something in the week after that?

Teaching accreditation for PhDs

by Jayne Brown

Hi all, Putting this here so I can remember for myself but also in case it is of interest to fellow PhDs! Katie and I had a drop-in session with Beth Cairns from Learning and Teaching Enhancement regarding the teaching accreditation. Notes from our call: * There are two routes the taught and experiential route * The taught route is at capacity right now with people who need to do it as part of their probation * But, confusingly, the experiential route does include taught sessions, we would get support and even a mentor if we wanted. * The next feasible round would be starting in the new year. So for those that are interested we need to submit an application. * Beth also mentioned that there is a course called "new to teaching" which might run again in the new year and could complement the experiential route but dates TBC as the woman who delivers this is still on mat leave for the next month or so. See the previous email from Beth with more info. Best, Jayne Jayne Brown PhD Student Stirling Management School University of Stirling Stirling FK9 4LA ________________________________ From: Beth Cairns <beth.cairns(a)stir.ac.uk> Sent: 04 November 2024 10:43 To: Jayne Brown <jayne.brown(a)stir.ac.uk>; Katieo(a)iwap.co.uk <Katieo(a)iwap.co.uk> Cc: Susan Greig <s.m.greig(a)stir.ac.uk> Subject: Ad Drop In Follow Up Hello all, It was lovely to meet you at the drop in and to hear about your PhD work. I am so jealous of your topics. To summarise our conversation: The experiential route is open to you and from what you shared it sounds like you are both great candidates for Associate Fellow. Please find the Associate Fellow guidance here: https://stir.sharepoint.com/sites/learningteaching/SitePages/Appl.aspx Please be aware that our cohorts that begin after this calendar year will all be moving to the new 2023 PSF here: PSF 2023 - Screen Reader Compatible - final_1675089549.pdf<https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets.creode.advancehe-document-manager…> Once you have had a chance to think about what you would like to do please email our coordinator Emma Gilbert at academicdevelopment(a)stir.ac.uk to register your interest for the cohort. She will then get back to you at a later stage with dates etc. We also discussed New to Teaching which you may decide to join in the new year. Our dates for this are yet to be confirmed as our colleague has not yet returned from Mat leave but once the dates are confirmed they will appear on our Events<https://stir.sharepoint.com/sites/learningteaching/_layouts/15/Events.aspx?…> page alongside our other CPD and trainings. Please do not hesitate to get back to me if you have any questions and enjoy the rest of the day!
