Our Postgraduate Research student community continues to grow and diversify in terms of the opportunities we offer and the skills and experiences that you bring to enrich and enliven University life. This year, we are delighted to welcome the second cohort of our Institute for Advanced Studies studentship holders. We are also joined by new students across our participating Doctoral Training Partnerships, including from the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science, which formally begins its new ten year programme this month. More students will join us as the year progresses across all of our programmes. For those of you who are returning, please accept my congratulations on your progress so far, and continue to enjoy the journey towards successful completion of your degree. To my colleagues without whom our PGR programme would not be the success it is, thank you again for your support and commitment. Over the last year, the quality of your supervision was highlighted in both student surveys and the outcome of the University’s latest quality review, which commended us for sector best practice. More widely, the University’s recent success in major grant competitions means that we will have additional research teams, involving both PGRs and research staff, developing over the year ahead.

{VIRUS?} Next week's lab

by Till Stowasser

Warning: This message has had one or more attachments removed Warning: (favicon_a_eupayfgghqiai7k9sol6lg2.ico). Warning: Please read the "stir.ac.uk-Attachment-Warning.txt" attachment(s) for more information. Dear PhD Lab, I am out of town next week but I think the lab should still go ahead. * Date: Wednesday at 11:30-13:00 * Room: 2V3 @Supervisors: Could one of you “chair” next week’s session? It’s mainly about making sure that teams is running in the room (should be easy as it’s a regular computer – not the fidgety screen as on Thursdays) and that the session is recorded for this who can’t make the lab on Wednesdays. @Students: We don’t have an agenda yet. Does any of you want to present something? We haven’t heard from Johanne in a while. Anything you want to run by the lab? Alternatively Gabe or Stewart could tell us something about their research plans. Or Liz Barnes talks us through her early results for Study 4? If there are no takers, we could do a merry-go-round and all students report on their progress lately. Finally, I have tentatively added two dates for our book club (Doing Economics). Is there a volunteer to present Chapter 6?

PhD Lab admin bits and bobs

by Till Stowasser

Dear PhD lab, As promised here are some admin/procedural things for the Autumn term. Points (1) and (2) are related to our lab. Points (3) and (4) are about general University resources. I highlighted required actions on your behalf in yellow. (1) Lab agenda for the Autumn term * I have created an online Excel spreadsheet with our lab agenda for the rest of the term that you should bookmark * https://stir-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/r/personal/ts31_stir_ac_uk/Documents/3%2… * You should have access to this and be able to edit (let me know if you cannot) * The expectation is that each PhD student gets at least one session per term that focusses on them (to discuss a research idea or design, to present early results, to give a mock talk, or whatever else you would like the lab’s feedback on) * If you already have a slot in mind for yourself, please add your name into the document * For all others, these decisions will be made among yourselves and the supervisory team as we move along * Two of the slots will be used for our two final book club sessions (see point (2) below) * We need two volunteers to present the following two chapters * Chapter 6: Doing Service * Chapter 7: Advising Students * Any takers? * I have also created a second column with other events you should attend in a given week, such as * Our Economics seminar series (every Thursday) * The RES Doctoral Programme Session (on some Wednesdays) * The SMS PhD meeting (every 3rd Wednesday each month) * PhD induction, School Assembly, etc. * Let’s also continue our tradition of finishing the term with a Christmas dinner * Happy to stick to Meadowpark but also open to other suggestions * We’ll talk about a suitable date closer to December but the last term week (16.-20.12.) would be a candidate (2) Essential reading for the Lab: Doing Economics (Hidden Curriculum) * The following information is mainly for our new members * As already mentioned, we are reading and discussing a book about the so-called hidden curriculum of doing a PhD * Please get a copy of this book and read it (I would label this essential reading) * Marc Bellemare (2022) Doing Economics: What You Should Have Learned in Grad School ― But Didn’t * The paperback costs under £20 on Amazon * But there is also a pdf version flying around somewhere (ask your WhatsApp group) * The format of the book club sessions is as follows * We all prepare by reading the chapter we are going to discuss * One volunteer student gives a short summary/discussion of that chapter from their viewpoint (10-15 minutes) as a discussion starter * The the lab discusses (with input and guidance from supervisors). Sort of a fireside chat * We already had four such sessions on * Chapter 2: Writing Papers * Chapter 3: Giving Talks * Chapter 4: Navigating Peer Review * Chapter 5: Finding Funding * The new members should read these chapters in their own time and watch the recordings of these sessions to catch up * This will also give you a good idea of the format * You can find these recordings here: https://stir-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/ts31_stir_ac_uk/EhyO2nLScTNJs… * I have also added a recording of Liz Barnes on Analytic Plans that will be helpful to you (3) IAS * Stirling’s Institute for Advanced Studies will be an important institution during your PhD and you should familiarise yourselves with their services. * As a first step, you should enroll in the IAS Postgraduate Researcher Canvas module * https://canvas.stir.ac.uk/courses/5104 * Make you sure you have notifications turned on, so you will get updates on sessions and services throughout the term * Once you enrolled, you have access to the following page, which provides the best overview * https://canvas.stir.ac.uk/courses/5104/modules * In my mind, the following are the most important items on that page * PhD Induction * https://canvas.stir.ac.uk/courses/5104/pages/ias-induction?module_item_id=4… * This year’s induction takes place on 09.10.2024 in the morning. Hopefully no clash with our lab that day * Researcher Development Programme * https://canvas.stir.ac.uk/courses/5104/pages/researcher-development-program… * This is a series of training sessions throughout the term, some of which you may want to attend * Preview is announced here: https://canvas.stir.ac.uk/courses/5104/discussion_topics/315470 * Research Compass * https://canvas.stir.ac.uk/courses/5104/pages/research-compass?module_item_i… * This is the tool the University uses to document and monitor your progress * One key element is that you should log all meetings with your supervisors (this includes lab sessions and 1:1 sessions) via Research Campus * Paperwork * There are also three pieces of paperwork we have to fill in with each of you (not only our newbies) * PGR Student Data Sheet * Student Supervisor Concordat * Training Needs Assessment * It seems that these forms have not yet been published for 2024/25 * I will let you know once they are available (4) Staff Room: Free coffee and hangout * I am not really sure if this is common knowledge but there is an SMS staff room with a kitchen, free(!) coffee, tables, couches, etc. * It’s a nice option for your breaks and eating your lunch * Note: This is not the Economics staff room with the sink and microwave across the hall (near Leo’s and my office) * The SMS Staff Room is quite a bit nicer and can be found in Room 3Y3. It is open between 9am and 4:30pm Best wishes, Till ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

PhD Lab now alternating between Wednesdays and Thursdays

by Till Stowasser

Dear PhD Lab, Because of the last-minute changes to the teaching timetables of Craig and Simon, it was no longer feasible to stick to the Wednesday slot alone. For this reason, we will now alternate between the following two dates: * Wednesdays 11:30-13:00 * Thursdays 14:00-15:30 (right after the Economics seminar, which you all should attend anyway) I have sent updated calendar invites. This switch has some very positive side effects. Because our lab was already clashing with the monthly SMS PhD meeting and a School assembly, we are gaining back 4 extra lab sessions! In choosing the new dates, I made sure to avoid these clashes which is why the alternation between Wednesdays and Thursdays is not completely regular. Heads up: You will be receiving another e-mail about some of the procedural housekeeping things I mentioned in this week’s lab. Best, Till ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159
