"The UCL Research Staff Development Programme (RSDP) is designed to help staff involved in research to develop skills particularly valuable for the wide range of careers within and beyond academia. The RSDP is mapped to the Researcher Development Framework and you should seek to build broader and deeper skills than during your doctorate. Areas that you should particularly seek to develop more deeply are: strategic thinking, leadership, research management, communication and innovation. These are valued by employers within and beyond academia. Research staff are expected to engage in a minimum of 10 days on skills development each year." — Professor David Bogle, Pro-Vice-Provost (Doctoral School & ECR Staff)
