Researcher Development Framework (RDF)
RDF is a framework for planning, promoting and supporting the personal, professional and career development of researchers

How the RDF can help your researchers
Personal and professional development Understand their strengths
Identify areas for development
Set goals
Career Development

I’ve always thought of myself as being quite ambitious, driven and focussed on what I want, but the framework made me
realise I can have a much larger visions.
It was very good for me to reflect. I realised that nothing is
stopping me but myself. The sky is the limit.
Think about staging the targets; what can I do
smarter, what training do I need to request and
what do I need someone else to facilitate so that I
can move forward
I now have a path that I would like to follow
I would see this [RDF] as a barometer...to give me a bit
more clarity about what areas I could develop and what might
be most important. It’s something I could keep
returning to
It put career development back into the forefront of my mind as it can often slip back when you’re
engaged in what you’re doing day to day.
The RDF “…identified areas for me that I needed to hone and really made me think about my career development. I’ve highlighted things now that I know I need to do.
What we’ve always tried to do with the postdocs [in Edinburgh] is say 'look this is your career and it’s your responsibility'.
Read it carefully and be honest about where you are. You don’t always have to aim for phase 5 - identify shorter term goals that are more achievable.
The RDF will encourage me to be more proactive about my career development as it provides me with a framework (list of milestones).
