The Researcher Development Framework
The Researcher Development Framework articulates the knowledge, behaviours and attributes of successful researchers and encourages them to aspire to excellence through achieving higher levels of development.
The framework is a comprehensive new approach to enhancing the careers of researchers. It was developed by and for researchers, in consultation with academic and non-academic employers.
Using the Vitae Researcher Development Framework, and surveys of employers, the 'Employability lens on the Vitae Researcher Development Framework for careers outside of academia' highlights the transferable skills typically developed by researchers that are most frequently desired by employers.
