This 'PI Development Programme' offers a range of transferable skills training, designed to assist the professional development of postdoctoral researchers, who are new to, or aspire to, the role of research leader.

The York Award: Researchers is a certificate of the University of York which recognises and rewards those PhD students who undertake an active programme of personal development over the course of their registration. It operates alongside degree programmes and aims to capture the impact of all aspects of university life in terms of the skills and experiences that they will find beneficial in their future life and work. The process of applying for the York Award: Researchers will allow postgraduate researchers to evaluate their unique set of skills and experiences, and ensure that they are able to communicate the value of their research degree and transferrable skills to an academic and a lay audience.

We provide a number of online training courses to PGRs - this is especially beneficial to distance and part-time PGRs

A training programme to build the skills and capabilities of early career researchers, enabling them to develop their potential as research leaders.

Intensive three-day generic skills training and networking opportunity timed to take place during the period when distance doctoral students are resident for departmental summer schools.
