The 'Insider Guides to Success in Academia' offers support and
practical advice to doctoral students and early-career researchers.
Covering the topics that really matter, but which often get
overlooked, this indispensable series provides practical and
realistic guidance to address many of the needs and challenges of
trying to operate, and remain, in academia. These neat pocket
guides fill specific and significant gaps in current literature.
Each book offers insider perspectives on the often implicit rules
of the game - the things you need to know but usually aren't told
by institutional postgraduate support, researcher development
units, or supervisors - and will address a practical topic that is
key to career progression. They are essential reading for doctoral
students, early-career researchers, supervisors, mentors, or anyone
looking to launch or maintain their career in academia. 'Making It'
as a Contract Researcher examines the contemporary experience of
research employment in universities from the perspective of a
significant yet often invisible group: temporary or contract
researchers, who make up a substantial, and ever-growing,
proportion of the academic research workforce. A critical,
pragmatic and international account of the contemporary research
career, this book explores the question of what it means to 'make
it' as a contract researcher in academia, and how individuals and
organisations in higher education might seek to do things
differently. Providing the reader with practical and realistic
strategies for improving the experience of being a contract
researcher and achieving and sustaining an academic research
career, this book guides the reader on a range of topics,
including: Charging fairly for your work Building a publication
track record Finding the next contract Sustaining your network
Feeling like you belong Moving beyond contract research. Using a
combination of current research, interviews and reflective writing,
the book is written specifically for and by contract researchers in
academia, offering unique and extremely valuable advice for all new
and current contract researchers, including PhD students, early
career researchers, and any party interested in pursuing a research
career in academia.
