Doctoral Faculty & Research Development Residency

Advance Your Doctoral Supervisory Practice. Strengthen the Future of Doctoral Education.

A Transformative 4-Day Training Experience

Our Doctoral Faculty & Research Development Residencies are designed for supervisors, research mentors, methodology instructors, and all faculty contributing to doctoral education.

This intensive residency brings together current and future doctoral faculty for a transformative experience focused on high-quality supervision, research mentorship, doctoral teaching, and scholarly leadership.

Doctoral supervision is one of the most influential—and most challenging—roles in academia. Doctoral Faculty are expected to guide students through complex research processes, foster critical thinking, provide robust feedback, and uphold academic integrity. Yet few receive formal training to do so. This residency fills that gap.

Residency Highlights

Over four powerful days, you will deepen your understanding of the doctoral learning journey, exchange practice with peers from diverse disciplines, and strengthen the competencies needed to supervise at the doctoral level with clarity, rigour, and confidence.

Highlights of this residency include:

  • Foundations of supervision, mentorship, and doctoral researcher development
  • Troubleshooting data collection, research design, and methodological challenges
  • Effective strategies for giving developmental feedback
  • Teaching doctoral-level seminars and coaching for publication
  • Ethical research practice, compliance, and scholarly integrity
  • Designing long-term faculty development and communities of practice

What You will Experience

Expect a rich blend of plenaries, workshops, group exercises, peer supervision, writing labs, and reflective sessions—designed to be interactive, practical, and immediately applicable in your teaching and supervision:

  • Expert-led training in supervision, mentoring, doctoral teaching, and research support
  • Hands-on practice through clinics, feedback sessions, writing labs, and case-based exercises
  • Peer learning with fellow doctoral supervisors from international backgrounds
  • Cutting-edge tools, including the use of AI in doctoral supervision and research
  • Structured reflection to analyse your supervisory style and enhance your academic leadership
  • Community building with faculty committed to improving doctoral education across contexts
