I remember going...I wish to claim my bonus points.<br /><br />I remember going to a safety presentation when I started my doctorate, at which we were cheerfully told that we were in an insurance grey-area, since we were not undergraduates, but neither were we staff. When I asked about this later I discovered I was in an even greyer area, since my grant was not administered by the university, nor by the department, but by the SRC (as it was in those days). When I started my post-doc I was relieved to find I was on a proper staff contract.<br /><br />But yes, mentoring in an unofficial capacity is part of the job and is good practice for almost any future managerial role.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115039121300021370noreply@blogger.com
