Posted by Karen Kaplan | Categories: Academia, Admin, Faculty, news, People Management, Tenure, US

How do you draw the line between volunteer work and unpaid labour?

But questions remain about the plan’s actual intent and its potential impact on US universities’ current and future policies around existing faculty members.  Read more

March for Science 2018 gears up

Posted by Karen Kaplan | Categories: Academia, Admin, Communication, Diversity, Events, Faculty, In the News, Industry, news, Postdoc, Postgraduate, Relationships, Research, Scientists on the move, Social media, UK, Undergraduate, US

March for Science 2018 gears up

Caroline Weinberg, an organizer for the upcoming march in Washington DC, expects smaller crowds than last year, although she admits her prediction may again be off the mark. “Last we expected 40,000 people, and we got around 100,000,” she says. She adds that most of the marchers in the nation’s capital city were concerned citizens, not practicing researchers.  Read more

Marketing yourself, politics and post-truth

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Blog, Career paths, Mobility, Scientists on the move

Marketing yourself, politics and post-truth

Achieving your dream job is always going to be a bit of a challenge. You may have a great degree, and maybe relevant experience, but getting your potential employer to believe you are absolutely the right person for the job means marketing yourself correctly. This can be tricky, particularly if you are starting off new in a field with no established reputation behind you.  Read more

Defending science by opening up: Lessons from Understanding Animal Research

Posted by David Payne | Categories: Blog, Communication, In the News, Perspectives, Research

Defending science by opening up:  Lessons from Understanding Animal Research

In the UK, almost half of the public believes that some animal research goes on without an official licence. The situation is similar in the US. This ignorance finds its way to policy makers around the world who dismiss academics and deride science. Clearly, there is a profound imbalance in the knowledge available to scientists and to the rest of society about animal research.  Read more

#ScientistOnTheMove in January 2015

Posted by Julie Gould | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove

#ScientistOnTheMove in January 2015

In 2014, Naturejobs is celebrating mobility in science, where researchers are changing labs, moving countries or transitioning into something completely different. In January 2014, all of these things hapenned. Below, we’ve selected just a handful of job changes to give you a flavour of the variety of things you can do with a science degree.  Read more

From academia to policy with David Carr

Posted by Julie Gould | Categories: Career paths

From academia to policy with David Carr

Staying in touch with science was the one thing David Carr wanted when he left academia in 1998. After spending a year working  in a scientific consultancy organisation whilst also writing up his masters, Carr joined the Wellcome Trust. Since joining he has become more and more involved in science policy. In this interview I ask Carr why science policy is important, why he enjoys it and what advice he has to offer to those who wish to work in this field.  Read more

How to publish better science through better data

Posted by Julie Gould | Categories: Events

How to publish better science through better data

Data, without a doubt, are the foundation of science. If you’re a researcher, your life is data: you spend your days generating it, analysing it, and writing papers about it. You share it with colleagues and collaborate on projects that will build on it and find new and exciting things. But policy makers, funders and universities are also involved in the conversation – each trying to solve the problem of managing the increasing influx of data whilst keeping the integrity of science high.  Read more
