In the Research subsystem, these codes are used to classify each person nominated as a supervisor of a Research Candidate. There may be more than a single supervisor for any candidature.

A Research Supervisor Type is allocated to a person entered as a research supervisor, in the Research Supervisor form (RESF3250).

The Research Supervisor Type block contains:

• Research Supervisor Type
• Description
• Principle Supervisor check box
• Research End-User check box
• Closed check box

If the Research End-User check box is selected, this specifies that the research supervisor type is for a supervisor that is actively engaged in research end-user supervision.

The Research End-User check box enables the reporting code 03 (jointly supervised by a research end-user) for Element 593 (Higher degree by research end–user engagement code). If a student is supervised with a research end-user, the code 03 will be reported in the Student Enrolment file (see STAJ0090) for Element 593.

Use this form to enter the institution-defined Research Supervisor types.

Each Research Supervisor Type must be unique and both Type and Description entries are mandatory.

Research Supervisor Types cannot be deleted once they have been used in the system. Select the Closed indicator to prevent future use of any type.

Rules/Notes:

Examples could include INDUSTRY, DEPUTY, PHD, PRINCIPAL.

Only select the Principal Supervisor indicator for those Research Supervisor types that fit the institution's requirements for a principal supervisor. Validation rules restrict allocation of Research Supervisor types to only one Principal Supervisor for any candidature.
