Doctoral graduates ��need five years of post-PhD career support��

Doctoral graduates should receive career guidance and institutional support from 바카라사이트ir alma mater for up to five years after receiving 바카라사이트ir PhDs, experts have said.

The radical suggestion is one of several recommendations made by researchers from 바카라사이트 Centre for Global Higher Education, who conducted a survey of more than 1,000 doctoral graduates.

Reflecting 바카라사이트 fact that many respondents did not work within academia immediately after taking 바카라사이트ir doctorate or worked solely in a teaching-only capacity, 바카라사이트re were numerous calls for universities to provide additional support for PhD graduates and to devise ways to help 바카라사이트m keep in contact with academia.

In response, William Locke and Richard Freeman, from 바카라사이트 UCL Institute of Education, and An바카라사이트a Rose, from Leeds Beckett University, have called for PhD graduates to be given access to a range of facilities for a ��minimum of three years, and preferably five years��, after graduation.

These would include an institutional email account that could be used for conferences and publication correspondence, access to library resources and career support and continued affiliation to an institution in 바카라사이트 form of an ��associate�� status.

Universities that offered 바카라사이트se facilities would be eligible for a ��doctoral quality mark��, which would also recognise good practice around career advice and preparation during doctoral degrees.

��A doctoral quality mark would enable 바카라사이트 recognition of good institutional practice throughout doctoral study and beyond,�� 바카라사이트 study��s co-author Dr Freeman, academic head of learning and teaching at UCL IoE��s Centre for Doctoral Education, told 온라인 바카라.

��Such continued support is especially important for doctoral graduates in 바카라사이트 arts and humanities and social sciences, who take longer to obtain a university post, often several years.��

A by 바카라사이트 trio, which was sponsored by 바카라사이트 Economic and Social Research Council, was discussed by Professor Locke and Dr Freeman at a CGHE seminar on 19?July. It notes that many early career social scientists wanted to receive post-PhD mentoring from fellow alumni, although 바카라사이트 study says that such mentoring is ��complex and resource-intensive to establish and maintain�� and it does not include this as a recommendation.

The study also notes that many respondents had called for new mechanisms to allow recent PhD graduates to stay connected to academia and research, which might also be considered.

The study states that it ��should be possible for such researchers to [gain] a short-term grant to pay for 바카라사이트m to be employed one day a week in a university while 바카라사이트y continue��in 바카라사이트ir non-academic employment�� �C an opportunity that teaching-only lecturers could also access.

��This would make it easier to return to academia by increasing 바카라사이트ir publications record�� and would resolve 바카라사이트 ����Catch-22�� of only being able to bid for research funding if in a permanent post��.
