Research Navigator

Is Research Navigator for you?

This is for you if one or more of the following apply to you:You're already doing good, solid work — and you're ready to make sure the right people actually notice it.You're committed, leading projects, supervising others, contributing ideas — and you'd rather build that skill deliberately than wing it under pressure.You've realised that research careers depend on more than technical ability.

I'm already a postdoc or research fellow. Is it too basic?

No. Research Navigator is designed particularly for early- and mid-career researchers.This is often the stage when you are building your reputation more widely, taking on greater responsibility and developing collaborations that may shape your future career.The membership helps you strengthen professional judgement and discernment as you build the evidence of your competence, credibility and contribution.

I'm already a lecturer, PI or leading a team. Is this for me?

Yes. Research Navigator also includes resources for established researchers and leaders, and that part of the Library is continuing to grow.Some of the feedback I hear most often from experienced leaders is that the most useful insights are not always the obvious ones.

Is this career advice?

Not in the sense of telling you what you should do with your career.Research Navigator is designed to help you develop the judgement to make better decisions for yourself. That means understanding the territory, recognising the factors that matter and weighing your options more consciously.Sometimes you may be deciding whether to pursue an opportunity.

Do I need to work through things in order?

No. Everything is open from day one. Follow a Roadmap start to finish, or open exactly the lesson that speaks to where you are right now.
