Administration<br />
I am currently the Disabilities Officer for the School. This involves ensuring that all reasonable adjustments<br />
are made by the School for students with disabilities, attending meetings <strong>of</strong> disabilities<br />
representatives, and advising on disabilities issues.<br />
I am also the Equal Opportunities Officer, requiring me to advise on EO issues to the School.<br />
I was previously (2004–2009) the Progress Officer for the School. This required administering to students<br />
in danger <strong>of</strong> not obtaining credit points, attending F<strong>ac</strong>ulty Progress meetings, producing alternative<br />
assessment for students, and liasing with and supporting the Director <strong>of</strong> Undergraduate Studies<br />
and Exams Officer.<br />
Grant and group-related administration<br />
Having been the primary investigator on three research grants <strong>of</strong> at least a years’ duration, and<br />
co-PI on several other large grants involving multiple personnel, I have extensive experience in
PUBLICATIONS 8<br />
administration <strong>of</strong> research, including:<br />
Applying for funding;<br />
The day-to-day running <strong>of</strong> grants;<br />
Managing <strong>of</strong> research staff, making sure that they are carrying out work appropriately, and that<br />
they are participating in <strong>ac</strong>tivities that will contribute to their career development;<br />
Helping others bid for research grants (including reading grant applications, and, for example,<br />
assisting in the hosting <strong>of</strong> the Nestle group at <strong>Bristol</strong> as part <strong>of</strong> the long-term goal <strong>of</strong> attr<strong>ac</strong>ting<br />
funding);<br />
Taking responsibility for the evolution <strong>of</strong> grants (timetabling <strong>of</strong> <strong>ac</strong>tivities; ensuring dissemination<br />
<strong>of</strong> results; keeping momentum);<br />
Organizing meetings <strong>of</strong> the department’s memory group, and setting up a web page for the group.<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essional courses<br />
I have taken part in several career-related courses <strong>of</strong>fered by the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bristol</strong>, including te<strong>ac</strong>hing<br />
and learning; fire warden training; SITS; and mentorship.<br />
Public engagement and outre<strong>ac</strong>h<br />
With others in the memory group, I took part in Discover 2010 in the <strong>Bristol</strong> Galleries. We demonstrated<br />
several memory experiments to the public, and fielded questions about our research, and more<br />
generally about memory and cognition.<br />
I hosted a visit from a class from the <strong>Bristol</strong> Brunel Academy, in which I ran the students through<br />
several experiments and explained how memory is researched in the School, as well as co-ordinating<br />
<strong>ac</strong>tivities in several other labs (2008).<br />
I have made several appearances on BBC Radio <strong>Bristol</strong> to talk about memory (e.g., expertise memory).<br />
