Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) just launched "A new online resource brings together universities’ research-assessment and career-development policies to help the academic community make hiring, promotion and tenure procedures fairer, more robust and more diverse." I had a quick browse, it has useful search options and lists a wide range of documents - so if your organisation is considering an update or creating new policies you have a good starting point here #researchcareer #researchintegrity #researchpolicy #promotion #fairness Ginny Barbour Kelly Cobey et al https://lnkd.in/gpNJxfTD

#etf strongly supports peer learning and the creation of networks as a means to enhance career guidance policy, practice and systems. A new EU Erasmus project aims at building a research network on career guidance in schools. Join their Online-Conference on 27th/28th June 2024 "Career Guidance in Schools under European and International Perspectives" The conference is aimed at researchers who deal with topics related to Career Guidance in schools. The conference serves to exchange research work, to identify common research desiderata and to network the participants.

How do you become a postdoctoral researcher? Becoming a postdoctoral researcher typically involves several steps and careful planning. Here is a general guide on how to become a postdoctoral researcher: Earn a Ph.D., Identify Research Interests, Networking, Research Potential Advisors, Prepare Application Materials: Curriculum Vitae (CV), Research Statement, Letters of Recommendation, Apply for Positions, Interviews, Negotiate Terms, Secure Funding, Visa and Logistics, & Begin Research. Remember that the path to becoming a postdoctoral researcher can vary depending on your field of study, location preferences, and specific career goals. Tailor your approach to your unique circumstances and aspirations.

Now the #jobsearch process is getting increasingly complicated with many job applications, multiple rounds of #jobinterviews (recently usually three), and abundant job search advice. I would like to share my modest experience of how I obtained my first #postdoc in clinical and molecular #immunology (to study the expression of human #immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region genes) at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. It was a lot simpler than advised by current job search experts. I listened to the advice of my Dad who is a scientist and my heart, applied for only one job, and obtained it. I was virtually an unknown scientist with unknown recommendations from Bulgaria. Hopefully, this advice may be helpful for other people searching for a job. I have to listen to it as well, because when I deviate from my principles, I am not as successful! Mainly: 1) Apply only for jobs that you really love and write a genuine cover letter expressing your interest in the job to make a real connection with the hiring manager. In this respect, I have a hard time accepting the help of artificial intelligence (AI) in writing of a job application cover letter. How can AI know your individuality and why you would be a good fit for the job? 2) at job interviews listen and learn a lot more than you speak. After speaking with members of the lab I visited I was so shy and stressed that I told the professor interviewing me: "I can't say much but can assure you I will do a good job" 3) listen to your heart 4) visualize 5) get enough nourishment, rest, and sleep to keep your mind and body strong to withstand stress. If you listen to my video you will find out that a dream I had helped me to get my job! In conclusion, this is not in my video, while waiting for the fellowship in Sweden, I applied for an NIH Visiting Scientist Fogarty Fellowship from Bulgaria with a grant I wrote on anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies, to carry out research at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, PA. I found out I was awarded this fellowship while already a scientist in Sweden as fellowship award decisions take a long time. So, in the end, everything worked out great and I did research in Sweden, followed by the US. Here is my Fogarty Grant Award in NIH RePorter, 1992 (I am the PI!): https://lnkd.in/eSjxhVB5 #jobsearch #psotdoc #immunology #heart #dreams #motivation #science

Invitation for 10 2 Doctoral Candidates to research on how to advance towards achieving climate-neutral cities The recently started C-NEWTRAL Doctoral Network intends to advance new approaches for integrated planning of climate-neutral cities through citizen engagement and city governance decision-making support. The project will approach climate-neutral cities from multiple dimensions of Urban Nature, Urban Mobility, Built Form, Energy and Circularity through citizen engagement and decision-making support.. There is a great team of academics and experts involved in supervision and training, and the consortium is now inviting applications for 10 2 doctoral candidates (Researchers) for these fully-funded positions. The Researchers will be employed on a full-time basis for 36 months and based at one of the six host institutions. They will also spend time on secondment at non-academic partners, thereby ensuring that all Researchers will spend time in both academia and industry. The call for applicants to the 10 2 Doctoral Candidate posts is now open. Each of these posts is for a period of 36 months, with the first candidates commencing in August 2024.

Who has won the most Nobel Prizes? If receiving a Nobel Prize is the highest recognition for a scientist, being awarded twice by the Swedish Academy of Sciences is an extraordinary fact that, so far, only four people can boast: Frederick Sanger, Linus Pauling, John Bardeen and Marie Curie. Plus… In addition to the four double-awarded scientists, there are two institutions that have received several awards from the Swedish Academy. The first is the Red Cross, an international humanitarian institution that has so far won three Nobel Peace Prizes. One less has UNHCR, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. And speaking of records in relation to these awards, we must remember that the Curies are not only famous for Marie's double award. The first and second generation of this family accumulate no less than four Nobel prizes in science (her first daughter Irène Joliot-Curiewon the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 for the discovery of artificial radioactivity, also together with her husband) .
