About the Career and Development Plan

The aim of the plan is to aid postdoctoral fellows in obtaining the qualifications required for a senior academic position. In order to achieve this aim, the plan must be built around the employee’s need for skills development and experience. 

The overall responsibility for drawing up the plan lies with the Head of Department/Centre, but may be delegated to other members of the academic leadership. The postdoctoral fellow and the person having personnel management responsibility for them draw up the plan together. It is important to clarify how all activities in the plan are to be carried out. The department/centre is responsible for making the necessary arrangements so that the goals set in the plan can be achieved. A plan for carrying out the required duties should be developed parallelly with the career and development plan. 

The plan must be signed by the postdoctoral fellow, the person having personnel management responsibility for them, and the mentor.
