Personal profile

Biography

Colin Chandler joined the University of Edinburgh in July 2013 as Lecturer in Life Sciences and from September 2013 to October 2017 took on the role of PGR co-ordinator for the School. I initially studied physiology at Newcastle University and completed my doctorate in Neuroscience with a thesis entitled ‘The neural control of arm movement’.

I taught Anatomy at Newcastle for 3 years before moving to Northumbria University (formerly Newcastle Polytechnic) to teach life sciences and research methods to Allied Health Professions students’. I led the redevelopment of postgraduate taught programmes within the school and managed postgraduate research as the postgraduate director.

 I contributed to the national debate over early career researcher development through Vitae with my involvement in the Implementation and Evaluation Group, a sector working group, drawn from a range of HEIs and other relevant stakeholders, with a mission to ‘propose meaningful and workable ways of evaluating the effectiveness of skills development in early career researchers’.

I have maintained an active research profile throughout my career and have successfully supervised 28 PhD, 5 MPhil, 1 Professional Doctorate students and mentored 4 PhD by Publication students. I have research links with India, Nepal, Thailand and South Africa.
