Research Staff Representatives

This webpage is currently under review

Many of the Research Staff Reps also represent research staff on University Committees such as the Research Staff Working Group, University and School level Athena Swan Self-Assessment Teams and School Research Committees.

Get involved - Become a Research Staff Rep

We always welcome new reps from any school/department. If you would be interested in representing your fellow researchers and influencing University policy while enhancing your CV, take a look at the Research Staff Reps Terms of Reference (under review) or contact us researchstaffoffice@sussex.ac.uk for more information.

"The Research Staff Reps group is a good environment to exchange opinions and influence decisions that impact on our careers.  By becoming a Research Staff Rep I feel that I have positively contributed to our diverse researcher community and gained a solid understanding of our wider roles within the University."  Dr Stefano Caserta

"I became a Research Staff Rep because I felt that there are issues specific to our work which need to be raised in a wider context. Being a Research Staff Representative is a great way to get to know the inner workings of the University better, as well as my fellow researchers."  Dr Christiane Oedekoven
