Re: [Phd-behsci] Tomorrow's PhD lab online?

by Till Stowasser

Sorry, me again. Just talked to Seda and she confirmed that any conference funds you would get through the stream described by Hector below would not cannibalise your PhD allowance of up to (2 x £750). If you want to apply to this fund, please do so by coming Wednesday.

We would like to give everyone the opportunity to attend a conference, so international conferences seem to be very expensive for us to fund at this point. Please email me the above information as soon as possible. I will review the requests and get back to you if we can pay. Best Seda I know many (all?) of you wanted to go to Dundee.

Fwd: Urgent - ACTION REQUIRED: IAS - Postgraduate Researchers

by Till Stowasser

Dear Stirling PhDs, I am sure you will have received below e-mail as well. Can you please make sure that your Research Compass is up to date by 19th of April? Thank you, Till Begin forwarded message: From: Lisa Reid <lisa.reid(a)stir.ac.uk> Subject: FW: Urgent - ACTION REQUIRED: IAS - Postgraduate Researchers Date: 5 April 2024 at 13:24:40 BST To: SMS Centre for Grad Research <smsgradresearch(a)stir.ac.uk> Cc: Ines Branco-Illodo <ines.branco-illodo(a)stir.ac.uk>, Knut Laaser <knut.laaser(a)stir.ac.uk>, Isaac Tabner <isaac.tabner(a)stir.ac.uk>, Steve Burt <s.l.burt(a)stir.ac.uk>, Melanie McLeod <m.a.mcleod(a)stir.ac.uk> Dear PGR students and Supervisors. Sent on behalf of Ines Branco-Illodo, PGR Director. In case you did not receive the message via Canvas, please note as below, the university is asking for all records to be up to date by 19th April 2024. I attach the research compass user guide. Please let me know if you need any help. Kind regards Lisa From: IAS - Postgraduate Researchers <notifications(a)instructure.com<mailto:notifications@instructure.com>> Sent: Friday, April 5, 2024 12:08 PM To: Lisa Reid <lisa.reid(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:lisa.reid@stir.ac.uk>> Subject: Urgent - ACTION REQUIRED: IAS - Postgraduate Researchers CAUTION: This email originated from outside University of Stirling. Do not follow links or open attachments if you doubt the authenticity of the sender or the content. ________________________________ Dear PGR students, ACTION REQUIRED An across-University team led by the Institute for Advanced Studies is currently reviewing a wide range of administrative processes to further enhance the PGR student experience from application to graduation. This ‘PGR Student Lifecycle’ project, which aims to respond to feedback from current doctoral students and via the annual PRES survey, will shortly make a variety of recommendations for changes to improve the PGR student experience, for implementation over the next few months. One of the key workstreams of the project has been to review how we manage student data records covering a variety of issues including leaves of absence, supervisory meetings and contact points etc. We are sending this message, and requiring action from you now because during our work we have discovered that some student records in Research Compass are incomplete. Your student records must be completed as a matter of urgency. It is imperative that these records are fully accurate and up to date. We rely on this information to inform our reporting on PGR activities to a range of external bodies including funders such as the Research Councils and UKVI. Failure to maintain accurate and up-to-date complete records will see the University breach its license to operate and endanger the recruitment and continuation of PGR students. We require that all PGR students (irrespective of full time/part time status, and including those currently on suspension of studies/leave of absence) and their supervisors review their Research Compass records by Friday 19th of April to ensure that by then they are fully populated and up-to-date. Faculty Deans and PGR Directors will follow up with all supervisors in the week after the 19th to confirm that records for all students have been fully updated. Where records are not complete, steps will have to be taken to either complete them urgently, or to review the ongoing registration of the individual students involved. We are afraid that there is no leeway in this for supervisors or PGR students; it is a legal compliance issue and we have no choice other than to adhere to these regulations. We should also note that these regulations are under review by UKVI and there is every likelihood that the University will be required to further strengthen them before September 2024. Completing records in a timely fashion on Research Compass will help everyone be compliant and also help us in our assurance of learning and successful, timely outcomes for students. As part of our ongoing improvement work, we are considering how we might migrate from Research Compass to alternative software consistent with wider university IT systems to make record keeping tasks more efficient in future. Please contact IAS(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:IAS@stir.ac.uk> if you have any queries regarding this request. Kind regards, Professor Iain Docherty Dean, Institute for Advanced Studies Professor Leigh Sparks Deputy Principal, Education and Students [cid:ddc48372-d79b-4683-9220-a1043363928a@eurprd03.prod.outlook.com] View announcement <https://canvas.stir.ac.uk/courses/5104/announcements/299831> | Update your notification settings<https://canvas.stir.ac.uk/profile/communication> ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

Next week's PhD Lab: Online or On-campus?

by Till Stowasser

Hi folks, Since the teaching term is over and everyone (besides Craig and Kevin) lives outside of Stirling, I wonder if it would be more feasible to have next week’s lab online again. Any objections? The last lab (in two weeks’ time) will be on campus, of course, as we will celebrate the end of the Spring term at Meadowpark afterwards.

Re: [Phd-behsci] Reminder: Tomorrow's PhD Lab – Please read Chapter 4 of Doing Economics

by Till Stowasser

Dear PhD Lab, Below is the e-mail I sent yesterday. I realize now why nobody received it. I accidentally sent it to behsciphdlab(a)groups.stir.ac.uk<mailto:behsciphdlab@groups.stir.ac.uk> (which was automatically created by MSTeams) as this one is misleadingly abbreviated "BehSci PhD lab” in my e-mail app. Sorry about this! You will have missed this: The week after that is up for grabs if someone wants to present an idea/progress etc. Perhaps Julion or Maev? No worries if nobody wants to take the slot, we can also have a “regular” PhD Lab in which we hear equally from everyone. In three weeks, I am gone for a conference (and I suspect the same will be true for quite some folk at the Econ division), so no lab. In 4 weeks, I would like to tackle Chapter 5 (Finding funding). @Johanne: Would you be up for presenting this chapter? In 5 weeks (the day before our Behavioural conference in Stirling), I would like Jasmine top present the paper (published recently in the AER) that will form the basis for her Study 2. After that, we could switch to a monthly rhythm during the Summer break. Here is the updated schedule for the rest of the term. 10/04/2024 Regular Lab 17/04/2024 No Lab: Scottish Economic Society Conference 24/04/2024 Jasmine: Heiss et al (2022, AER) 01/05/2024 Book Club Chapter 5 (Johanne) Best, Till On 2.

Would anyone want to present an idea/their progress in any of these slots? @Jasmine: One of the later slots would be ideal for you to present the Heiss/McFadden/Winter/Wuppermann paper to us. I would also like to get another one or two chapters of the 'Doing Economics’ book covered before the summer, so I would need one or two volunteers for this.
