An Introduction to Research Data Management Skills with Dr Curtis Sharma
Simply put, research data is anything that helps to eventually form the basis of your research output. The integrity of our research outputs therefore depends on the integrity of our data. This is one reason why Increased importance is being placed on research data management (RDM). Managing your research data well brings other benefits, however. It helps in structuring your research project, keeping your data safe and secure, making it easier to share data during and after your project, and it is simply good academic practice. In these sessions we will explore what we mean by RDM, looking at storage and backup, organisation, archiving, and sharing. In the first session we will work to achieve a strong basic understanding of RDM. In the second session, we’ll look at these in more detail.
This is a workshop for PhD students who have reached the point where they need to consider what to do next after their doctorate. Provision from the Careers Service and the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences will highlight both academic and non-academic career options with Q&A sessions for students to explore ideas. There will be a coffee and cake break for students to have the opportunity to share plans with each other and the session will finish with a panel of Cambridge Grand Challenges alumni who will discuss their fellowship/internship experiences.
10am to 10.45am: How to find the best fit in careers; Academic or Non-Academic?
10.45am to 11.30am: Going into academia - how to find fellowships and make grant applications
11.30am to 12pm: Tea/Coffee and time to talk individually with our speakers and each other
12pm to 1.30pm: Alumni Panel with Konstantina Stamati - an opportunity for you to question past PhD students
This workshop focuses on the why, where, when and how of training during your doctorate including how to integrate the training into your research and using a training needs analysis. This is a one hour online workshop provided by the ESRC DTP Doctoral Training Manager - joining details below:

This 2 hour online session aims to equip you with the tools and techniques required to effectively manage your time and research projects. Through interactive and practical exercises, we will cover how to prioritize tasks, manage your workload, and develop effective time management strategies that can be applied to any research project.
We will cover topics such as setting SMART goals, developing project timelines, and identifying and managing project risks. Additionally, you will learn how to identify time-wasters, manage interruptions, and optimize your work environment for maximum productivity.

Please note that the course is taught using Zoom and you must have installed on your computer to participate.
A Zoom link will be sent to all participants before the event.
Provided by Dr Anna Cieslik and Dr Elizabeth Penner, AHSS Research Facilitators, this workshop will focus on grants vs fellowships, an overview of funding options available post PhD, an explanation of the application process and some grant writing tips. You will also have the opportunity to look at a sample application.
Please be aware that the facilitators providing this workshop are from AHSS so there will be references around social sciences and arts and humanities. A large part of the content will be generic but if you are from a different school you may find the final part less relevant.
We will post resources and links onto the website after the workshop.

Cambridge ESRC DTP is pleased to offer a training session with our annual lecture speaker Professor Pete Fussey Training will take place on Thursday 10th November at 2pm in the Nihon Room at Pembroke College. We are delighted that prior to his talk at 5pm (in the Old Library at Pembroke College), Professor Fussey will be running a workshop focusing on working in challenging research environments. Drawing on his experience of researching in difficult to access environments – including among organised criminal actors in London, senior security practitioners and in conducting ethnographies of covert surveillance practices – Professor Fussey will lead this interactive workshop to support doctoral students facing some of these issues. In doing so, this session will cover a range of relevant issues including sensitivities, ethics, responsibilities to participants and strategies for engagement. Students are also encouraged to contribute their own experiences to the workshop and a reflection of the challenges they have faced.
Professor Fussey’s research focuses on surveillance, digital sociology, algorithmic justice, human rights, intelligence oversight, technology and policing, and urban studies. He has published widely across these areas. He is a director of the Centre for Research into Information, Surveillance and Privacy (CRISP). Professor Fussey is a regular commentator in national and international media and he has worked with and advised central and regional governments in the UK, Europe and Asia on a number of issues including the regulation of surveillance, public order policing and the security and social implications of urban mega-events.
Social media has changed a great deal in just the past few years. How should you use social media to promote your research and expand your scholarly network? What are the opportunities -- as well as the challenges -- that you should know about?
In this session, we will discuss some tips, tools, and best practices to help you make the best use of social media to help you reach new audiences, engage with various types of audiences, and how to use social media as a tool to help you develop your career.
Dr Pallawi Sinha focuses on reflection in research. By sharing some of her own experiences working with some of the most vulnerable communities in India, Dr Sinha explains how central reflexivity is in research. The workshop considers how deeply invested we each are in our research questions and the very individual ‘toolkits’ we bring to our research, grounded in our life histories, to build understanding of how reflection and researcher-reflexivity confront and overcome incongruities, disparities and barriers that underscore research.
Dr Pallawi Sinha will deliver a 45 minute seminar for all students. There will then be an opportunity for a 30 minute group session at which we invite students who wish to engage and actively participate.
This webinar is aimed at all ESRC DTP cohorts. The information and advice will be focused around managing your studentship in relation to time planning, managing your health, and understanding how your ESRC funding works. In particular, UKRI research councils are limited in their flexibility around extensions and it is important that all DTP PhD researchers are aware of these limitations but also know about the other resources they can potentially utilise at Cambridge to help them through the three years of their doctorate.
We encourage everyone to attend. In addition, anyone who has health difficulties should come along to understand how this could impact on their PhD timeline and how planning at an early stage could be helpful.
