<p class="x_xmsonormal">Dear Heads of Department and Directors of Research,</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">A new PhD@Work programme has been developed to increase PGR recruitment in line with KPI 8. The goal is to facilitate students undertaking a higher degree whilst remaining in employment (analogous to the employee version of the highly
successful GSK scheme, but open to candidates from all companies, regardless of size or location).</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Science Faculty is now ready to launch this degree pathway. I am writing to ask departments to please promote it strongly, initially amongst your existing external industrial contacts (a wider launch and promotion campaign is anticipated
in the New Year).</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Information on the PhD@Work is available here: <a href="https://www.strath.ac.uk/science/workingwithbusinessindustry/phdwork/">
https://www.strath.ac.uk/science/workingwithbusinessindustry/phdwork/</a>. I have also attached the FAQs as a PDF that you are welcome to share.</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">In terms of procedures, we anticipate that the majority of these candidates can be treated as normal external PhD’s i.e. there will be no need to do a dedicated costing on CPM, nor involve colleagues in RKES in contract negotiations.
Instead, a draft agreement template has been drawn up for the Science PhD@Work by RKES (attached) that you can use as a basis for discussions. Note that, provided this is agreed ‘as it stands’ or only with very minor alterations, it can be signed on behalf
of the university at Faculty level by the Vice Dean Research. </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">For the moment, because the scheme is new, please can you involve Luke and I in discussions with interested candidates. We are happy to arrange zoom calls with potential students and/or supervisors to answer questions about the scheme
not covered above.</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Best regards,</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
