Researchers in higher education institutions: scoping study of career development and human resource management
Summary
This report describes policy and practice in career development and human resource management for 'junior' researchers - those at an early stage in their research careers. It focuses on two related themes: motivational and reward systems, such as pay and career progression; and mechanisms for developing the professional skills required by researchers.
The study aimed to identify areas for further work rather than to produce comprehensive responses. It was carried out by a consortium led by Evidence Ltd. The other partners were the Higher Education Policy Unit and the Centre for the Study of Law and Policy in Europe (HEPU and CSLPE, University of Leeds) and the Association of Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA).
