Brains working towards machine consciousness

 The Careers Research and Advisory Centre announced a consultation on their new Researcher Development Framework back in early November (or thereabouts).  I have been meaning to take a closer look at it, as competency frameworks are part of the area we at OdinLab are interested in, and because, as a researcher, it is interesting to know where I stand in the field (near, I have to say, the muddy corner where the cattle tend to gather...)

I decided to work through the Researcher Development Framework and work out where I think I am on the various scales.  The consultation document does say that the framework is not designed to help support promotion applications, and I am tempted to say I think that advice is sensible (although I would be very happy to have a promotion on the basis of it, if anyone feels like offering one in these rather tricky times for Higher Education).

I will break this document down into the various domains, to make it rather less weighty than it would be if I did it all in one go.

Follow the links, below, to navigate through this reflective analysis of myself, as an example of the framework.  I have tried to be frank - not over-selling myself, but also trying to avoid my normal tendency to be over-critical of my abilities and achievements.  I have also tried to give supporting evidence where possible, and I welcome any feedback or endorsements of my assessments.
