Recognised across HE institutions as a leading example for Postgraduate support, The University of York\u2019s Thrive and Survive<\/a> initiative was set up to facilitate peer-peer support for PhDs, through panel discussions and community building. The aim of the initiative is to boost wellbeing for all UoY PhDs, through access to support and peer guidance from a vibrant and diverse community. Thrive and Survive also enables a community of knowledge sharing, allowing tips, tricks and best practice to be passed from one generation to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re looking for a current UoY PhD Researcher (or recent UoY post-doc) who is passionate about research culture and building a community of support for PhDs at York.
