OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
An innovative skills programme for RAs and postdocs
The purpose of the Researcher Strategy Consultancy programme is to provide early career researchers* with an opportunity to develop the core employability skills required for a transition into analytical, business, or policy roles in a range of sectors. The next programme will run 28 Feb – 10 June. Applications close 24 February.
Particular emphasis is given to business awareness, teamwork, communication and leadership to complement other training available to research staff. This programme enables participants to build on skills that typically develop in designing, planning and conducting complex research projects. Whatever their career plans, including further research and academia, participants can benefit significantly from the programme.
Participants volunteer some of their own time to work in teams, over a 3 month period, to address a strategic issue or business opportunity for a client organisation.
We are particularly interested in attracting applicants from across the University to form cross-disciplinary teams to work on our client challenges.
