All ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership courses

Dealing with pressure can be the ability that sets you apart from your colleagues, and allows you to navigate the conflicting demands of your workload. It’s also an art which – to the surprise of many - can be learnt.

In this highly interactive course, Simon offers strategies for dealing with deadlines, stress and demands, using scenarios ranging from a TV newsroom journalist to an emergency doctor.

This module comprises a series of six workshops based around a range of multimedia that will enable participants to build a professional identity both online and offline. By the end of this module, participants should have an actionable, usable portfolio.

• What is your story? (Simon Hall and Tyler Shores)

This workshop contains tips on constructing a compelling and powerful narrative, along with soundbites that can make important points around your research stand out. This session focuses on using social media, how to write a post that will pull people in and come away with a clear idea of how to sell your research:

• Crafting your online and social media identity • Knowing your potential audiences • What do your audiences *really* need to know? • Beyond Google searches: how to be discoverable online

• • Training and Engagement Day - Compulsory**

As part of the ESRC remit, we are required to provide you with a training and engagement day each term to meet the funder's training guidelines.

The agenda for this T&E Day is as follows:

9.30am to 10am: Coffee and catch up

We hope you will have a chance to work together more and, as before, you will be working in your clusters.
