Thankyou all for supportive messages,
Treeoflife your message makes sense. I ended up concentrating too much on the project,meeting with other people, fixing protocols, had taken lots of courses towards this phd and I kept assuming I could handle it but a point came when I got frustrated as he kept provoking me :( via emails. I took two days off and he is saying that you need to produce a doctors certificate as he is not sure of my health and demeaning me infront of others constantly.
Hazy Jane thankyou :), I will keep posted on the situation here as I really want this phd
Hi
I am on a Phd studentship that is half funded with the company that my supervisor work with and the remaining half is matched by UCL. I have been working with the company and its all good, but my supervisors personality is a big issue. I raised a complaint against his behaviour and I am told that he does not intend to supervise me and if I have any thoughts of supervisors ? This supervisor of mine has had this reputation and the department had been covering up for. I am left so confused... Can I change supervisors or this is my end.. its only been 6 months and there was a lot to look forward to it the project..
I need some advice, i only worked for 6 months with my current phd supervisor.He has bullying me for a long time, i kept bottling it and concentrating on the project. Recently he started getting a bit too unrealistic and making me feel down infront of my secondary supervisor. Anyhow long story short, I went to the student mediator to get some help with the personality clash and it is now in a form of complaint with the head of department. And my department tutor is not happy that I did not share this with her. She says that most likely he wouldnot want to supervise me. What happens next ? if phd supervisor and your relationship dont work out but the science has been doing well and i want to keep working at it, please say something, i have been sleepless and cant eat for 11 days :'(
