DonatorGeneral Information:
| I am applying for Director of Research because I would like to become more involved with the Research Department as a whole. I want to help run the department, create and write paperwork, and overall manage the Research Department. I have been with the Research Department for approximately six (6) months and with the Executive Researcher team for roughly five (5) months, and firmly believe I am ready to progress further within the department. Research is a critical part of the Foundation and the server's gameplay loop; I believe my skillset will enable me to further improve the department, making Research more fun, interactive and productive. I have very much enjoyed being an Executive Researcher and am excited to take one step further. |
| I believe myself to be suitable for Director of Research for a number of factors. The two most prominent factors being my extensive experience and exquisite documentation skills. I am one of the longest standing active Executive Researchers within my department, with a tenure of approximately five (5) months. On more than one occasion, previous Directors of Research have asked me to create, refractor and rework research documentation: this proves my proficiency within this area. Examples of such work are the Reward and Training Logger, which was requested to be done by Site Advisor James Lyndon Pennington when he held Director of Research and the Research Department Roster which was requested to be done by Alec "Brewer" Bennett when he held Director of Research. Further evidence of my documentation and administration skills can be seen in the Psychology Division documentation that was created within a week of me assuming the position as its lead. My communication between the Research Department and other departments is very good, as a member of the Psychology Division, it is natural that we would work with the Medical Department. Dpt. Director Abbie Maot and I have agreed on a system to allow members of the PSI-5 Psychology Component to conduct psychological evaluations on D-Class, Security personnel, Research personnel and MTF Epsilon-11 operatives so long as the evaluator possesses a certificate granted by the Medical Department. In addition to this, I have been working closely with Site Administration on evaluating the behaviour and mental health of members of each department. Communication is an essential part of leading any department. |
| The Director of Research is not as involved with the experimental research of SCPs within the department. Instead, they focus more on issuing and monitoring tasks ensuring that the department operates efficiently and to the specification of Foundation Command. For instance, if the Overseer Council request that the Research Department find more effective means of terminating SCP-076-2, the Director of Research would be the one to issue the task to other members of the department. Ensuring that inter-departmental communications are maintained is essential. The Director of Research is naturally the main channel of communication between other departments, such as the Medical Department or the Security Department, both of which are heavily inter-linked with Research. Policies and legislation ensure the continued efficient operation of the department. The Director of Research is able to draft, change, push and enforce policies that apply to the Research Department as well as making sure that said policies are received by the rest of the department, including relaying necessary information to Executive Researchers and the rest of the department to ensure appropriate conduct and execution. The Director of Research maintains the vitality of the department, ensuring that new researchers are sufficiently briefed in regard to producing high quality documentation, research and roleplay. This can be done by mentoring said researcher(s), conducting lectures, and providing constructive criticism; however, this task can also be done by Senior and Executive Researchers. |
