*Help Us Understand the Experiences of PhD Students and Early Career Researchers in Third Sector Research!* We invite you to participate in our survey: "PhD Student and Early Career Scholars in Third Sector Research: Joys, Challenges & Completion Rates." This survey aims to gather valuable insights from international PhD students and early career scholars about their academic experiences, including the challenges of working in an interdisciplinary field like the third sector, and how the demands of academic work impact your personal life and work-life balance. Whether you're a current PhD student or an early career researcher, your input is essential to helping us better understand and support our community. ?? Share your experiences by completing the survey here: https://lnkd.in/dhAT-idf Thank you for contributing your valuable time and insights! #PhDResearch #ThirdSector #EarlyCareerResearchers #PhDCommunity #Survey #HigherEducation International Society for Third Sector Research Maurice O.

The #POSTDOCket: Postdoc to Faculty Conversion Programs Are a Win-Win While traditional postdoctoral appointments are insecure, requiring scholars to be on the job market constantly, some institutions and even state university systems are bucking the trend by creating pathways for postdocs to become faculty at their fellowship institution (or one close by).

The biggest concern facing PhD students leaving academia is not knowing what industry is like. Here, we interview Ashley Ruba, PhD who is helping 70.000+ academics and #PhD students transition to non-academic careers.? In the episodes, Suzanne van Wouw and I talk with Ashley about: ??The challenges academics face when transitioning ? The stigma around non-academic careers ? and the misconceptions that often hold back PhD professionals.

We're so proud of the students who participated in Undergraduate Research Day! Each year, students work alongside faculty mentors to conduct research, gather data and explore the implications of their findings. At Undergraduate Research Day, faculty, staff and students from around campus gather to view their presentations. Check out this video for some highlights from the day. ???? #YouBelongAtMontevallo

The article below highlights one of the reasons research often doesn’t make it to the places where it could have the most impact. At a recent CSaP - Centre for Science and Policy, University of Cambridge workshop, these difficulties were discussed. Hidden REF is trying to address the issues raised in the article by influencing the REF to attach more importance to work in areas of policy change and public engagement.

Interesting read and some very important points. Talking about impact should also be part of doctoral training - to raise awareness, for ECRs to make informed choices, and to normalise the fact that creating impact is part of academics’ work and as such should also be workloaded.
