Academic careers

If you’re inclined towards academia, you're aspiring to join the ranks of researchers focused on advancing knowledge and educating the next generation. Academic careers are prestigious and intellectually rewarding but often demand a blend of teaching, research, and administrative duties. Your work can shape future generations and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries.

Academic roles and responsibilities

Academics primarily work in universities but can also be found in government-funded research institutes and cultural heritage sites. The core objective is to produce original research while often engaging in teaching and administrative duties.

As an academic, you’ll be expected to publish your research findings, supervise students, and contribute to your academic community through various service roles.

How much do academics earn?

According to official data produced by HESA, in 2021-22 most full-time academics employed by a university in the UK were salaried between £47,419 to £63,668 . The second largest salary range, with just over 33% of academics falling into, was £35,326 to £47,419.

Salaries also vary by department. For example, those in Biological, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences earn between £34,000 and £45,000 , while Humanities and Archaeology academics often earn over £45,000 . These figures showcase the range of earning potential, influenced by experience, field of study, and institutional funding.

Pathways to academia

To become an academic in the UK, a doctoral degree is increasingly essential. Generally, you will need at least an upper second-class undergraduate degree, often followed by a Master’s degree. After your PhD, two main pathways lead to permanent positions:

• Teaching Route : Starting with part-time teaching roles can make you competitive for research or teaching fellowships and eventually, permanent lecture positions. These roles often involve a mix of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, curriculum development, and sometimes even student advisory responsibilities
• Research Route : Alternatively, you could apply for post-doctoral positions (postdocs) to gain valuable experience. Postdocs are temporary research roles typically lasting 1-4 years, under the supervision of an established academic. These positions help strengthen your research profile and often provide opportunities for publishing papers and attending conferences.

Candidates are not always expected to have completed a fellowship to apply for a lectureship. These roles can be obtained after completing a postdoc or teaching experience.

Postdocs and fellowships

Postdocs are excellent for building research and teaching experience. Fellowships, on the other hand, are more competitive and prestigious, allowing you to undertake your own research project—sometimes leading to a permanent role. Fellowships can be a crucial stepping stone to further academic opportunities, offering funding and resources to focus intensely on your research.

Though not mandatory, completing a postdoc or fellowship significantly boosts your employability in academia. These temporary roles help you gain the experience needed to secure permanent positions and build a network within the academic community. Networking is vital, as academic positions are often filled through a combination of formal applications and personal connections.

What is a postdoc?

A postdoc is a temporary funded research position at a university or in industry. Postdocs work under the supervision of a research group or established academic and are considered an employee, unlike PhD students. Some roles will include teaching responsibilities and assistant supervisory roles to students. Responsibilities will also include grant writing, funding applications and administrative duties.

Sometimes postdocs can be referred to as Postdoctoral Research Assistants or Postdoctoral Research Fellows. A postdoc, however, is not the same as a fellowship.

What is a fellowship?

Research fellowships are competitive and prestigious positions. Unlike postdocs, you will be funded to complete your own research project. Some positions will also guarantee a permanent academic role after completion. To successfully achieve a fellowship, you’ll need an interesting and viable research project, a history of academic excellence, and experience in writing successful funding or grant applications.

The other type is a teaching fellowship . These roles are not always for early career academics and will be offered to senior researchers so make sure you check the job description.

Do you need a postdoc or fellowship to work in academia?

Technically you do not need to have completed a postdoc or fellowship to work in academia, but it is becoming increasingly expected.

Employment in academia is more competitive each year as the number of PhDs rewarded is increasing, whereas the available permanent academic positions are not. The experience gained from completing one or more temporary positions can help you increase the competitiveness of your CV, make connections and build a positive reputation within the academic community.

Permanent positions

To secure a permanent role, you'll generally start with a lectureship, an entry-level position requiring teaching, research, and administrative duties. After successfully navigating a probationary period (usually three to four years), you might be promoted to Senior Lecturer, Reader, or even Professor, based on the evidence of your contributions and progression. Each upward step typically brings higher responsibilities, leadership opportunities, and an increase in salary.

In the UK, tenure, as understood in North America, doesn't typically apply. However, academics in permanent roles receive standard employment protections. Instead of tenure, UK academics undergo periodic reviews to ensure continued performance and contribution to the institution.

Non-academic careers

Choosing to step outside academia after your PhD opens numerous opportunities. According to the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), over 70% of PhD holders are not working in academia three and a half years after their graduation. This statistic highlights the diverse range of career paths available to PhDs outside of the traditional academic route.

Transferable skills

A PhD equips you with a range of transferable skills that are highly valued in various industries. From analytical thinking and project management to excellent written communication, your PhD experience sets you apart from Bachelors and Masters graduates. Skills such as problem-solving, data analysis, and independent research can make you an attractive candidate in many fields.

Industry examples

Here's how your PhD can translate into various industries:

• A PhD in the Arts and Humanities demonstrates excellent written communication, presentation skills, creativity and analytical thinking. You may be suited to work for jobs in the Publishing industry , Digital Marketing or Civil Service .
• A PhD in Biological and Medical Sciences builds specialist subject knowledge, data proficiency and collaborative skills. This will compliment work in industries such as Pharmaceuticals , Genomics or Clinical Care .
• A PhD in Business and Finance will help build organisational and data experience that could benefit careers in Accountancy , Data Science or Consultancy .
• A PhD in Chemical Sciences will provide you with laboratory skills and an advanced understanding of chemistry needed to benefit jobs in Chemical Engineering , Industrial Chemistry and Food Technology .
• A PhD in Earth Sciences could set graduates up for careers in Construction , Environmental Protection or Mineral Surveying , utilising analytical skills and strong subject knowledge.
• PhDs in Engineering have a strong emphasis on project management and practical construction. This could aid jobs in Management Consultancy and Finance as well as more practical fields such as Aeronautics .
• The specialist knowledge gained from a PhD in Law can enable students to comfortably enter industries such as Investment . Additionally, soft skills gained in communication will help in careers such as Teaching or Public Engagement .
• A PhD in Maths and Computing could benefit jobs in Finance , Investment or Web Development , complimenting skills in logic, problem solving and data.
• A PhD in the Physical Sciences demonstrates experience with software and data. This could set graduates up to work in Software Engineering , Data Science or even Sound Engineering .
• A PhD in Social Science and Health requires a deep understanding of human society on a macro or micro level. Graduates may find themselves working in Epidemiology , Public Health or Social Work .

You may be inclined to apply for jobs relating to the subject of your research or previous studies. But a PhD is a versatile enough qualification that you can often look outside your discipline area.

Making the transition

You should invest some time during your PhD for personal and professional development (this is true if you want to stay in academia too!).

Even if you attend none of the formal training courses offered by your department, your PhD itself will provide you with many skills. When leaving academia, you'll need to translate your skills so they make sense to the industry and commercial employers. Think outside the box and take stock of what you are good at or have experience in.

Some translation examples include:

• The dissertation shows you're capable of presenting and organising large amounts of information.
• Having published papers shows you can communicate information across a range of formats.
• If you did interviews for your PhD project, you might graduate with skills in questionnaire design, sensitivity and data analysis.

There’s always a way to link your academic experience to the commercial world. Be prepared to do this in any upcoming job interviews.

It’s also a good idea to move away from the long, multiple page academic CV that you might be used to. Employers won’t read them. They also won’t be interested in scanning a lengthy list of articles. Instead, you should mention that you’ve had several publications without detailing every instance.

Career Opportunities After PhD: Tips for a Successful Job Search

Challenges with employment and career opportunities after PhD

The current academic job market has become increasingly competitive for PhD graduates, which has made it important for them to explore the available options and careers after PhD. PhD holders exceed the limited tenure positions and are often forced to move to non-academic positions or remain underemployed in career paths after PhD that often require lesser degrees. Graduates of some fields may better navigate non-academic labor markets than others. 1

For example, STEM, business, and economics graduates are more likely to obtain industry-specific technical and applied skills. But, others wondering how to get into industry after PhD may not recognize the extent to which their problem-solving, analytical, and critical-thinking skills may be used outside academia.

Non-academic careers after PhD are not simply a preference but have become a necessity for many PhD holders, especially when academic jobs are limited. It could also be related to your personal values, family situation, instability/insecurities in working on a contract, preferences or available career options after PhD. Doctoral students also perceive limited support and a lack of resources to address their diverse career development needs during their training as a reason for this shift. 2 Most often, PhD scholars don’t know how to get into industry after PhD as they feel they are misfits here. The extent of mismatch could be in terms of skills, the field of study, and over-qualification. This article can help you overcome some challenges in finding suitable career opportunities after PhD.

Career options after PhD

Most often, PhD scholars don’t know how to get into industry after PhD as they feel they are misfits here. The extent of mismatch could be in terms of skills, the field of study, and over-qualification. This article can help you overcome some challenges in finding suitable career opportunities after PhD.

The following are just some of the PhD career options you have upon achieving your doctorate:

In academia

• Adjunct faculty position

In industry

• Policymakers/Adviser to policymakers
• Entrepreneur
• Public speaker

Optimizing your job search for great careers after PhD

As a PhD student, you might find it hard to decide the next step in your career after PhD. Not everyone completing a PhD will find full-time tenure positions at higher education institutions. You would naturally want a lucrative and rewarding career after PhD that makes all the hardships worthwhile. But choosing between academic/non-academic jobs or private/public sector jobs can be challenging, especially if you are unfamiliar with the job-hunting game inside/outside of academia. The following steps can help you with your job search process and steer your career path after PhD.

• Reflect : Look back on your experiences to identify what aspects of your research you enjoyed most. It could be experimental or fieldwork, creative writing, connecting with other researchers or managing your project. There are many career options for PhD holders in the market and some reflection will help you identify the direction in which you want to go.
• Decide location : Your preferred location can influence your job search. Think about where you’d like to live and the job opportunities and career options for PhD holders available there. Often, you might find that you want to go back to your home country to pursue a career after PhD and would have to adjust your job search depending on the type of jobs available locally. Therefore, looking for the right job in the right place can reduce your search time.
• Network : Many PhDs underestimate the importance of networking effectively and having a good communication strategy in determining their careers after PhD. Jobs received through university networks tend to align with your education and offer better career opportunities after PhD. 3 So find some time to attend events and network with stakeholders in top companies and other universities. Speaking to senior colleagues about your job search can also help you understand their experiences and learn how to get into industry after PhD. Finally, make sure to have a LinkedIn profile to connect with people having similar interests and careers after PhD.
• Career centers : Your university career center can also offer guidance on possible careers after PhD, especially finding a good position upon graduating. They can also help you familiarize yourself with institutions that award research grants and their requirements.
• Websites : You may find career opportunities for PhDs on university websites or other relevant platforms, such as:

-Nature careers

-New scientist jobs

-Science Careers

-Technojobs-PhD jobs

• Strong resume : When applying for non-academic jobs, focus on enhancing the many transferable skills from your PhD, such as:

-Communication skills – your work with presentations, lectures, or seminars

-Creative thinking – good at outside-the-box thinking

-Management – great with time, workloads, mentoring undergraduate students

-Problem-solving skills – mention the many research problems solved

Use the following strategies to enhance the quality of your CV or resume for better

• Highlight achievements: Your CV should include sufficient detail to show a selection committee that you are the perfect candidate for the job. Update your CV regularly to include recent achievements and skills gained that are relevant in careers after PhD.
• Tailor-made for the job: Fine-tune your CV to meet the job requirements. An academic CV should be different from a non-academic one to match the needs of that particular opportunity. A 1-2 page summary of your experiences and expertise is sufficient for an industry job, but your academic CV should include a full record of your work and can be much longer.
• Add specific, credible information: To secure the best career after PhD, ensure the CV you submit is supported by sufficient details of specific experiences that highlight your efforts and skills.
• Add evidence: Incorporate quantitative evidence or proof to support the facts in your CV. Do not fabricate information that will crumble under scrutiny and mar your career options after PhD.
• Start early and keep looking: Finally, start your job search early and keep looking until you have found a job that meets your requirements.

You can pursue a variety of careers after PhD, and we hope the points above help you find the best career opportunities after your PhD is over. Best of luck with your applications!

What can I do with a PhD?

A lot, depending on what you want! Although many PhDs enter academic careers, many more have pursued a range of fulfilling and meaningful careers beyond academia. Whether you’re preparing for a faculty position or looking to find what other career options are out there, it’s important to spend time to understand yourself, your values, and what skills and interests you have before diving into a job search.

The ultimate market portfolio

Laurens Swinkels, Associate Professor of Finance at Erasmus School of Economics, and Ronald Doeswijk introduced new research to better determine a truer market portfolio. The Financial Times has dedicated an article to this research paper. 

The research by Doeswijk and Swinkels presents an updated global market portfolio, using monthly data from 1970-2022 to examine risk and reward over a broader time span than previous studies. They focus on investable assets weighted by market sizes, although the method has limitations. The study finds the global market portfolio generated excess returns of 0.3% per month during this period. The use of monthly data offers nuanced insights into the market's performance.

Back to School for Graduate Studies in Clinical Research: A Snapshot of U.S. Programs

Blog September 12, 2024

As students and faculty began settling into the routines of a new academic year at universities across the U.S., ACRP reached out to experts from graduate programs in clinical research for a snapshot of how education in this field, especially at the master’s degree level, is holding up amidst rapidly evolving changes in the research enterprise itself. Presented below is the feedback we received from academicians at the University of Arizona, Rutgers, and University of Southern California who were generous with their responses at this busy time of year for their programs.  

Helping to keep us up to date on trends among clinical research graduate students are:  

ACRP: How well prepared are incoming students in clinical research master’s degree programs for their studies in the face of ongoing, rapid advances in the profession?  

Celaya: Many students are coming to our clinical research programs with diverse backgrounds and preparedness. Some are recent undergraduates and others mid-career professionals or clinicians. Even though these students come to us with strong scientific backgrounds, many of them need a deeper understanding of regulatory fundamentals, data management skills, and the knowledge of ethical considerations when designing clinical research projects. We are starting to integrate clinical research coursework in each level of student and trainee engagement to better position students for success in their graduate studies.  

Lechner: The incoming students to our master-level clinical research degree are from many different backgrounds and come from varying levels of preparedness. However, our master program has rigorous entry requirements including written and oral communications, which allow the best students to be brought into our program, ready to hit the ground running with their studies. Most of the students adapt rapidly after completing the foundational courses.  

Succar: The exciting world of clinical trials and research has seen tremendous advances in the profession, and while our incoming students often have strong medical, health, science, and clinical backgrounds, many are underprepared in terms of specific competencies, skills, and knowledge needed to conduct and manage modern clinical trials and research teams.  

Many incoming students in our programs come from varied professional backgrounds, including physicians, pharmaceutical industry employees, and PhD and postdoctoral students. This diversity suggests varying levels of prior research experience and knowledge. To address gaps in preparation, we have developed more accessible curricula integrating Good Clinical Practice, research processes, and regulatory requirements.  

Furthermore, the rapid advances mean even experienced professionals may need additional training since clinical researchers need to be competent in areas such as following complex regulatory requirements; ensuring compliance, ethical study conduct, and participant safety; communicating effectively with research participants; leading diverse research teams; and understanding study design, statistics, and data management. [These competencies are covered in more detail in a forthcoming article coauthored by Succar for ACRP’s Clinical Researcher journal.]  

The responsibilities and skills required of clinical research professionals have expanded over time. Many students interested in becoming clinical researchers struggle to find formalized training that prepares them to conduct safe, well-designed clinical research. Thus, our programs continue to evolve and adapt to provide more accessible options to help students gain these competencies. Ongoing evaluation and curriculum development are conducted to ensure our programs adequately prepare incoming students for the evolving demands of clinical research careers.  

ACRP: Are the kinds of undergraduate programs the younger students are coming from giving them a good leg up on tackling graduate studies in the field?  

Celaya: Traditional students coming from undergraduate training in health sciences or clinical disciplines often have a solid foundation. But since clinical research is a field that is constantly changing, these students still need a foundation that their traditional science backgrounds don’t necessarily give them in a scholastic setting.  

Succar: Unfortunately, there is limited education and training specific to clinical trials and research in undergraduate programs. We have a diverse cohort of incoming students with a range of experiences from years of extensive clinical research experience to no experience at all. Thus, we offer programs designed to help undergraduates prepare for graduate school, providing research experience and mentorship to undergraduates. For students coming from non-science backgrounds, we also offer science enrichment courses to help them prepare for our programs.  

On the flip side, students coming directly from undergraduate programs may have some advantages, as they are likely more accustomed to the academic environment and study habits required for graduate work. Recent exposure to foundational coursework may be fresher in their minds. They may have more flexibility and fewer outside commitments compared to older students who are balancing work and family responsibilities.  

Ultimately, success in graduate studies depends on individual preparation, motivation, and the specific skills and experiences gained during undergraduate education, regardless of age. Both younger and older students can excel in graduate programs if they have adequately prepared themselves and chosen a program that aligns with their goals and background.  

ACRP: Are the older students coming in for advanced studies as ways to change careers or climb their existing clinical research career ladder able to prepare themselves well for graduate studies based on resources from the graduate programs or elsewhere?  

Celaya: Non-traditional students, many of whom come from established careers in healthcare or related fields, bring practical experience to the table, often in areas like nursing, clinical areas, data management, or regulatory affairs. Many of them come to us from entry-level clinical research jobs. Their real-world experience is invaluable, but transitioning into academic study can present a different set of challenges, particularly for those who have been out of formal education for several years. In these cases, we’ve found that graduate programs need to offer additional support, such as modules or refreshers on academic writing, research methodologies, and current industry standards. Many programs, including ours, have started providing resources like boot camps or online primers to help these students bridge any knowledge gaps and ease back into academic life.  

Lechner: The master programs built for today’s working students are rigorous and allow application of what they have learned in their career and the classroom. Their professional experience allows them to build on their solid foundation, and our program fine tunes the gaps as they continue in their course journey.  

Succar: Adult learners often have different needs compared to traditional students coming directly from undergraduate studies, and the Master of Science in Clinical Trial Management is perfect for those learners seeking a career change or promotions within their existing clinical research careers and institutes.  

In addition, our institution offers career planning and development resources and courses specifically designed for older graduate and postdoctoral trainees in clinical research. These courses increase career readiness and awareness of career options for graduate and older students, which helps to expand their awareness of careers that align with their advanced skill sets.  

Many older students are employees with families who study as part-time rather than full-time students, so taking advantage of these career planning courses and resources offered is beneficial for them. We also offer mentoring opportunities, as mentoring relationships can be valuable for career development, as well as flexible scheduling and delivery options to accommodate work/life balance.  

Adult learners can leverage their work experience and transferable skills from previous careers and develop new career adaptability skills to navigate transitions. We accommodate the needs of adult learners and offer opportunities for both career changers and those advancing in their existing clinical research careers.  

ACRP: Can these academic programs really keep up with ever-changing developments in the field these days?  

Celaya: The landscape of clinical research education has rapidly evolved. Many changes have come about due to the need to keep pace with advances in technology, regulations, and research methodology. This can definitely be an issue for master’s programs that are stagnant within the same curriculum year to year when so many changes are happening in the regulatory arena, artificial intelligence, industry connection, and dissemination of scholarly activity. We take a more agile approach by examining the curriculum on an annual basis to make sure we adapt to those changes. We also have content experts as guest lecturers who are currently working and developing clinical research projects in real time. This allows our students to hear from faculty who know about current trends and include any anticipated changes. We also partner with our university clinical research office to ensure we are giving the most current information. A close relationship between academia and industry is essential for ensuring that graduates are well-equipped to thrive in this dynamic field.  

Lechner: Academic programs such as ours have advisory boards, core faculty, and adjunct faculty who are deeply rooted in clinical research management and who collaborate to assure our program is current with today’s environment. Our program allows faculty time to update their course content on an evolving basis to keep current with the ever-changing developments in clinical research as well as to include recent case studies. In addition to the more basic courses which lay out the foundation of the regulations and guidance, the program includes coursework to allow “hot topics” in the clinical research enterprise to be presented to the students.  

Succar: The dynamic nature of clinical trials and research means that formal education and continuous learning are necessary for professionals to remain up to date with the ever-changing developments in the field. Our department embraces these innovative changes and has established strong collaborations and relationships with pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic institutions to provide students with opportunities to pursue current clinical research projects and remain abreast of ongoing developments.  

Some of our adaptations include bringing in industry experts as guest lecturers or adjunct faculty; offering internships and co-op programs for real-world experience; and developing joint research initiatives on cutting-edge topics. These partnerships help our programs to stay more closely aligned with industry needs.  

We frequently update our curricula to incorporate emerging technologies and industry trends, by adding new courses on topics like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science; integrating project-based learning to give students hands-on experience with current tools and practices; and offering specialized tracks or concentrations in high-demand areas.  

I believe that a combination of formal education and continuous self-directed learning is necessary to truly keep pace with industry developments.

Rostov-on-Don , city and administrative centre of Rostov oblast (province), southwestern Russia . It lies along the lower Don River , 30 miles (50 km) above the latter’s mouth on the Sea of Azov .

The city was founded in 1749 as the customs post of Temernika, when the river mouth was still in Turkish hands. It then became a flourishing trade centre. Between 1761 and 1763 the fortress of St. Dmitry of Rostov was built there, and a town developed around it, near the Armenian settlement of Nakhichevan-na-Donu, which later merged with Rostov. In 1797 town status was granted, and in 1806 it was named Rostov-on-Don. Because of its key position as a transport centre and port, the town grew steadily with the 19th-century Russian colonization and development of the north Caucasus region and conquest of the Transcaucasia .

These functions remain of great importance. The Don River route to the interior was improved by the opening of the Volga-Don Shipping Canal in 1952, linking the town to the entire Volga basin; a dredged channel gives access to the sea. Rostov lies on road, rail, and oil and natural-gas pipeline connections between central European Russia and the Caucasus region. This nodal location and the nearness of the great Donets Coal Basin have led to major industrial development, especially in engineering. Two huge plants make Rostov the largest producer of agricultural machinery in Russia. Other engineering products include ball bearings, electrical and heating equipment, wire, self-propelled barges, road-construction equipment, and industrial machinery. There are ship and locomotive repair yards and a range of consumer-goods industries. Rostov State University was founded in 1917, and there are numerous other institutions of higher education and scientific-research. Pop. (2002) 1,068,267; (2006 est.) 1,054,865.
