In this episode, Charlie, Rachael and Olivia discuss a the tricky topic of ‘How to Start a New Research Project’. Whether you are starting out on researching for a new PhD, whether you’ve finished that and you’re now starting a new research job, or even if you are an experienced researcher trying to begin work on your fifth book, beginning the first phases of a project can be a daunting, and at times stressful, experience. In today’s podcast, we’re going to be sharing our experiences of this process. Our discussions include: How to identify your training needs for this new work, and how to find that specific training. How to plan your project and its various stages. How to manage your dynamics with your supervisors, and mentors. Lastly, perhaps most difficult: how to actually START and get stuck into it.
