Abstract
Post-doctoral researchers offer support, guidance, and skills development to doctoral learners, yet often do not contextualise this as ‘supervision’, nor are they recognised or valued for the supervision work they contribute to universities. Yet their contribution is substantial and makes a unique pedagogical contribution to doctoral completion. This paper documents the development of supervisory practices for seven postdoctoral researchers who took part in a Thesis Mentoring programme. Through analysis of the outcomes of their practice, and interview data, this paper documents how their supervisory awareness, information seeking, and practice developed when offered formal opportunities to work 1:1 with doctoral researchers. This paper offers insight into their understanding of their role as a supervisor in enabling doctoral writing. It also demonstrates how early career researchers can develop keen supervisory practices before they take on formal supervision responsibility, and further, documents the value to institutions of offering postdocs formal supervisory practice opportunities.
