Supporting your Research

A Supportive Environment

The University of Lincoln provides rich and varied support for research across the institution. There are key academic and support roles dedicated to different disciplines in each College, as well as central roles that support bid writing, enterprise, ethics and Intellectual Property.

These staff are critical to helping us provide a friendly, supportive and academically challenging research environment. We aim to provide the necessary support at the different stages of your research career path, from post-doctoral and Early Career Researchers, through to our research chairs and professors. 

The Research and Enterprise Committee oversees the development of research activity and works to maintain the intensive research culture and infrastructure across the University. There is support from academic and professional staff across the institution. This Committee also deals with all elements of the University’s Strategic Plan which relate to enterprise, including employer engagement, knowledge transfer and exchange, incubation, employability, graduate enterprise, and IP and academic enterprise.

Early Career Researchers

At the University of Lincoln, we ensure that new academics, and those making the transition from postdoctoral research, receive the guidance and support they need to establish themselves as independent and confident researchers. Early Career Researchers are at the centre of our Research Plan, in recognition of the vital contribution they make to our diverse research environment and to ensuring our continued growth and success through innovative research projects.

The University of Lincoln is committed to the Vitae Concordat regarding the development of academic careers and aims to ensure that there is consistency of approach and support for researchers across our four Colleges. To this end, we provide assistance to College Research Centres and Groups on the establishment of local practices for the support of, and investment in, Early Career Researchers. This is underpinned by tailored personal and professional development programmes wherever posible. Students can join our Early Career Researcher Forum and join in dialogue, discussion and debate and find information on funding, bid writing, as well as how to join peer-to-peer mentoring and support activities.
