Navigating research careers is often highly challenging for early
career researchers (ECRs) in the social sciences. The ability to
thrive in research careers is complex and requires "soft" people
and management skills and resilience that often cannot be formally
taught through university coursework. Written from a peer
perspective, this book provides guidance and establishes emotional
rapport on topical issues relevant for ECRs in academia and
industry. The authors are ECRs who have been successful in
navigating their careers, and they seek to connect with readers in
a supportive and collegial manner. Each chapter includes elements
of story-telling and scientific thinking and is organized into
three parts: (1) a personal story that is relevant to the topic;
(2) key content on professional and personal effectiveness based on
evidence in the psychological, sociological, and/or management
sciences; and (3) action points and practical recommendations. The
topics covered are specifically curated for people considering
undertaking research careers or already working in research,
including: Work Hard, Snore Hard: Recovery from Work for Early
Career Researchers Networking and Collaborating in Academia:
Increasing Your Scientific Impact and Having Fun in the Process
Accelerating Your Research Career with Open Science Engaging with
the Press and Media Make Your Science Go Viral: How to Maximize the
Impact of Your Research Exploring the Horizon: Navigating Research
Careers Outside of Academia Thinking like an Implementation
Scientist and Applying Your Research in Practice Survival Guide for
Early Career Researchers summarizes relevant evidence-based
research to offer advice in strategic but also supportive ways to
ECRs. It is an essential go-to practical resource for PhD students,
postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. This book will also
benefit senior researchers who are serving as mentors or delivering
professional development programs, administrators and educators in
institutions of higher learning, and anyone with an interest in
building a successful research career.
With specially commissioned introductions from international
experts, the Psychological Insights for Understanding COVID-19
series draws together previously published chapters on key themes
in psychological science that engage with people's unprecedented
experience of the pandemic. In this volume on health, Dominika
Kwasnicka and Robbert Sanderman introduce chapters that explore the
crucial topics of health behaviour change, wellbeing, stress, and
coping. They highlight the key role digital health technologies can
play in how we manage health conditions, and how we facilitate
change to help individuals manage stressful situations such as
physical isolation, job loss, and financial strain during the
COVID-19 pandemic. The volume also offers an important overview of
environmental and policy-based approaches to health behaviour
change and addresses the highly relevant issues of identity and
trust and how they shape the health of individuals, communities,
and society. Highlighting theory and research on these key topics
germane to the global pandemic, the Psychological Insights for
Understanding COVID-19 series offers thought-provoking reading for
professionals, students, academics, and policymakers concerned with
psychological consequences of COVID-19 for individuals, families,
and society.
