The BU Research Staff Association (RSA) is a forum to promote research culture at BU. Research staff from across BU are encouraged to network with other researchers, disseminate their work, discuss career opportunities, hear updates on how BU is implementing the Research Concordat, and give feedback or raise concerns that will help to develop and support the research community at BU.
The Association is run by three leaders and supported by at least two reps from each faculty.
If you are interested in the FST rep role, please supply a few words to demonstrate your suitability, interest, availability in relation to the position to Researchdev@bournemouth.ac.uk by the 22/10/23.
Eligible research staff are those on research-only contracts – fixed-term or open-ended employment (not PTHP/casual contracts).
Please contact the RSA FST rep to chat about it if you have any queries.
