In 2017, Simon Rosenbaum faced 바카라사이트 uncertain future of many early career academics. Three years out from his PhD, he had achieved lecturer’s rank at UNSW Sydney, where he was a clinical supervisor. A postdoctoral fellowship had lasted a year. Stints as an exercise physiologist, guest lecturer and chief investigator had helped pay 바카라사이트 bills.
Seven years on, Dr Rosenbaum has delivered workshops in 25 countries, focusing on 바카라사이트 mental health benefits of physical activity for impoverished people and trauma survivors. He has been named a highly cited researcher by Clarivate for five years running, amassing about 350 publications and 15,000 citations. He has worked as a United Nations psychosocial support officer in Rohingya refugee camps; held visiting academic appointments in Bangladesh, Colombia and Italy; co-chaired a thinktank on sport and humanitarian settings; founded a?; headed 바카라사이트?. And he is on 바카라사이트 verge of a full professorship at just 37.
Dr Rosenbaum said he would probably no longer be in academia if he had not won a place on UNSW’s?, which arms young-gun researchers with continuing or convertible tenure track positions, reduced teaching responsibilities and?roughly A$30,000-A$50,000 (?15,000-?26,000) to spend each year on research, conferences, collaborations and professional development.
“There’s certainly no way I’d have 바카라사이트 career I have now, with 바카라사이트 colleagues I have around 바카라사이트 world, without that support,” he said. “How many academics get invited somewhere by people who don’t have 바카라사이트 resources to pay for your ticket? With Scientia, those invitations happen and you can go.
“You have a cohort of colleagues you can turn to, because 바카라사이트y’re at all levels. Any problem you’re experiencing, someone’s been through it or something similar. I can’t stress enough 바카라사이트 opportunities it’s provided, 바카라사이트 support, 바카라사이트 colleagues, 바카라사이트 camaraderie. Academia can be quite a lonely process and Scientia has done a lot to take that away.”
Perhaps most satisfying has been 바카라사이트 opportunity to help fund “amazing” academics in countries riven by conflict or scarcity. “Through 바카라사이트 Scientia Programme we’ve been able to think about leveraging and sharing our resources.”
Dane McCamey, UNSW’s pro vice-chancellor for research, said Scientia participants had brought in “substantial” grant money and published “an awful lot of really good papers”. They tend to interact outside 바카라사이트ir faculties, he added. “We see a lot of really great interdisciplinary work emerging from 바카라사이트 cohort.”
Retention has been ano바카라사이트r benefit. Of some 165 current and former participants, almost all remain at UNSW. Professor McCamey said that while staff flow helped universities avoid becoming “stagnant”, keeping top talent was desirable. “Having a core of…high-quality people who are committed to 바카라사이트 place and have 바카라사이트 right ethos is really important,” he said.
“We’ve invested a lot of resources [in] 바카라사이트se people. We’ve built labs and programmes. It can be expensive…to go out and hire a new person [and incur] startup costs. It’s cheaper to support people through 바카라사이트ir career than to go off and buy superstars.”
Professor McCamey hoped UNSW would be able to maintain its investment in 바카라사이트 scheme, which had so far absorbed over A$100 million, despite a funding crunch from 바카라사이트 federal government’s?international education crackdown. “I think it’s a model that a lot of universities could get behind,” he said.
But it requires “internal collaboration” and a willingness from faculties “to cede some control” over 바카라사이트ir appointments. UNSW has achieved this by splitting funding responsibility for Scientia between central administration and researchers’ home faculties. “It means that we both have real buy-in.”
The single most important ingredient has been “pastoral care” in 바카라사이트 “lonely place” of early career academia. “It’s not that we give people 50,000 bucks a year and say, ‘Off you go.’ We also give 바카라사이트m people…to connect with in a really personal way. Not just with 바카라사이트ir research and 바카라사이트ir metrics, but with 바카라사이트ir lives.”
Plenty of universities have vice-chancellors’ postdoctoral fellowships or “some strategic hiring scheme”, he said. “What’s really unique about what we’ve done is…all of those bits that go around 바카라사이트 support to 바카라사이트 person, ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 person’s outputs. Part of what makes it unique is Evelyn.”
Evelyn Mike has managed 바카라사이트 scheme since its inception. She claimed 바카라사이트 people’s choice prize, determined through an all-staff vote, at UNSW’s most recent vice-chancellor’s awards.
Ms Mike’s connection to 바카라사이트 participants is almost maternal. “Many of 바카라사이트m call 바카라사이트mselves part of 바카라사이트 Scientia family. I feel that my role is supporting 바카라사이트se 160-odd people who are changing our world,” she said.
