'PhD students and young researchers increasingly find employment
outside the world of education. This book is an excellent guide to
the skills they will need as they make that move.' - Professor
Nigel Vincent, Vice-President for Research & HE Policy, The
British Academy 'This book should be required reading for
researchers embarking on a research career, particularly those on
doctoral training programmes, and academics in their roles as
supervisors or managers of researchers.' - Dr Janet Metcalfe, Chair
and Head Vitae This book provides a succinct guide for doctoral and
early career researchers about the nature of transferable skills,
why they are needed and how they can be acquired, evidenced and
marketed.
In the UK, possession of a doctorate is no longer the rarity it
once was and the competitive economic climate makes it even more
critical that doctoral graduates and early career researchers can
convince prospective employers of both their specialist and generic
skills. In this context, institutions are also required to provide
well organised, relevant training in skills development if they are
to attract and retain doctoral candidates. Thus, the book also has
value for those charged with developing the transferable skills of
others.
With coverage of project management, team working,
communication, leadership and technical skills, this book is an
essential guide for researchers who want to make the most of the
skills you have and acquire the skills they need. The authors' work
engages them daily in the development of researchers' skills and
they made a substantial contribution to the development of Vitae's
Researcher Development Framework. ? The Success in Research series,
from Cindy Becker and Pam Denicolo, provides short, authoritative
and accessible guides on key areas of professional and research
development. Avoiding jargon and cutting to the chase of what you
really need to know, these practical and supportive books cover a
range of areas from presenting research to achieving impact, and
from publishing journal articles to developing proposals. They are
essential reading for any student or researcher interested in
developing their skills and broadening their professional and
methodological knowledge in an academic context.
