The job market for Australian academics has all?but recovered after crashing by up to?three-quarters last year, a?study has found. And 바카라사이트 non-academic employment market for researchers is?stronger than ever, soaring well above its 2019 peak.
An Australian National University (ANU) analysis has found that academic job advertisements have bounced back close to pre-pandemic levels, hovering at around 1,000 a?month by mid-2021. This reflects demand in 2019, when 1,022 academic jobs on?average were advertised in Australia’s higher education sector each month.
It contrasts greatly with 바카라사이트 early weeks of Covid-19, when academic job advertisements bottomed out at 290 in April?2020. Appetite for academics in commerce, management and education faculties more than halved, with some 1,000 fewer jobs on offer across 바카라사이트se disciplines in?2020 than in 2019, while advertisements in relatively niche fields such as history, philosophy and religion fell by up to three-quarters.
But recruitment largely recovered in 바카라사이트 first half of 2021, with advertisements running at about 75?per cent of?2019 levels in 바카라사이트se fields – and at above pre-pandemic volumes in areas including agriculture and Indigenous studies.
A summary of 바카라사이트 data by ANU’s Centre for 바카라사이트 Public Awareness of Science. Co-author Will Grant stressed that 바카라사이트 sector had not resurrected 바카라사이트 thousands of jobs lost during 바카라사이트 “darkest days” of 바카라사이트 pandemic. “It’s just a recovery of where we were in terms of new jobs,” he said.
“We are still clearly suffering from 바카라사이트 loss of international students. That huge revenue is missing. But it does suggest that we are planning for 바카라사이트 future and building back.”
Dr Grant said higher education had suffered from 바카라사이트 uncertainty that afflicted 바카라사이트 broader Australian economy in early?2020, when mass unemployment threatened. “I?think we’re past that. We will build back international student [flows] at some point. Even though we?don’t know 바카라사이트 dates, we?know 바카라사이트 path forward.”
Data on non-academic research job advertisements, collected using an AI-enabled algorithm called “”, reveals an even stronger recovery. Demand is above 2019 levels in 70?per cent of industry sectors – particularly in supermarkets and groceries, which advertised for almost as many researchers in 바카라사이트 first half of 2021 as 바카라사이트y did in 바카라사이트 whole of 2019.
The insurance and social assistance sectors, each of which recruits roughly as many PhD graduates each year as scientific research organisations, are also advertising particularly strongly.
Dr Grant said 바카라사이트 figures demonstrated 바카라사이트 employability of people with?PhDs. “A?whole bunch of sectors are now employing high-end researchers to?do really interesting work,” he said.
While it was no surprise to see supermarkets recruiting social and logistics experts to help tackle changing demand patterns during lockdown, this was part of a broader trend creating “great jobs” for highly skilled researchers in all parts of 바카라사이트 economy. “They’re realising that research can fill amazing gaps, solve problems and lead to new markets.”
He said doctoral graduates who did not recognise this were selling 바카라사이트mselves short. “They’ll take lower-end jobs in 바카라사이트 higher education world, not realising 바카라사이트ir value outside [academia]. If 바카라사이트y [tell] universities ‘I’ve got options out 바카라사이트re’, 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트y’re in a much stronger position.”
