I\u2019ve never heard good career news in science and academia.<\/p>\n

Even before the pandemic, every few years, the Arts Faculty of a major university\u00a0would shed<\/a>\u00a0a\u00a0huge number<\/a>\u00a0of jobs. Australian scientists would be subject to periodic\u00a0funding<\/a>\u00a0cuts<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0reforms<\/a>\u00a0that frequently promise to create a \u201clost generation of scientists\u201d. As another round of funding cuts looms, this time triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are once again facing the prospect of becoming a \u201clost generation<\/a>\u201d of academics.<\/p>\n

However, as an early career researcher who is likely to end up in these endlessly lost generations (it seems academia\u2019s better off counting the researchers we\u2019ve kept), I don\u2019t feel that we should be alarmed. We cannot control the political and economic currents that shape academia and our funding opportunities but we\u2019re not completely powerless. There are opportunities out there. I can\u2019t predict what those opportunities might be, but I know that the only way that I \u2013 or anyone else \u2013 will find them is by continuing to\u00a0do stuff<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0meet people<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

DROPPING OUT OR TAKING OFF?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Most of us who go through with a PhD\u00a0want to work in academia<\/a>. We like some combination of learning stuff, doing new things, research, or teaching. But, statistically, it just isn\u2019t possible. There have never been so many PhDs competing for so few academic jobs. And the jobs that are left have never been more insecure. In the United States, this is represented by the growing\u00a0adjunct underclass<\/a>, while in Australia it is represented by a\u00a0casualised and underpaid academic workforce<\/a>. The hard reality is that the vast majority of us will eventually drop out of academia.<\/p>\n

But dropping out of one career path does not mean destitution and ruin. There can be\u00a0stigma to leaving academia<\/a>, which may be due to the grief of giving up a dream or the beliefs of others that people who leave academia didn\u2019t try hard enough. Leaving academia is certainly a difficult personal decision and an\u00a0evergreen genre for careers columnists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But if we do leave academia, it does not mean we are failures and our careers are over.<\/p>\n

In fact, leaving academia may be just what we need for our careers to take off. Following simple economic laws of supply and demand, academic jobs for early career researchers do not pay well. In the United States, the National Science Foundation\u2019s Survey of Earned Doctorates shows people with PhDs in virtually every discipline\u00a0earn higher average salaries<\/a>\u00a0outside of academia. The differences are huge. A life science PhD can expect around US$48,000 as a postdoc or US$95,000 in industry or business. An engineering PhD can earn US$50,000 as a postdoc or US$108,000 in industry or business. The only exception is the arts and humanities, where salaries are just low everywhere. If being part of a \u201clost generation\u201d of academics means doubling your salary, the loss belongs to the academy, not to us early career researchers.<\/p>\n

FINDING THOSE JOBS<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The challenge then for early career researchers is how to find those jobs, apply for them, and interview for them. I\u2019ve read numerous careers columns over the course of my degrees and postdoctoral career, some of which purport to advise readers on how to do these things.<\/p>\n

Given how most career advice is pretty evidence-free and tainted by\u00a0survivorship bias<\/a>, my key conclusions are simply that we need to\u00a0do stuff<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0meet people,<\/em>\u00a0and that this applies both inside and outside academia. Importantly, these fundamentals have not been changed by the latest round of cuts, nor are they altered by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

DO STUFF<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Doing stuff means engaging in some kind of professionally meaningful or productive activity.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re working on your day-to-day research or engaging in some kind of extracurricular activity, doing stuff will keep you developing professionally. The more stuff you do, the better you\u2019ll understand what you like and what you\u2019re good at. The more you do stuff, the more you\u2019ll learn new skills or gain insights into industry trends. All of this will help you move forward with your current work or transition into a new sector.<\/p>\n

Whether in academia or not, making a positive contribution is fundamentally how you gain some kind of job security. As the\u00a0Journal of Cell Science<\/em>\u2019s \u201cMole<\/a>\u201d says :<\/p>\n

\u201c[P]ut your effort into the things that make you an invaluable part of your institution, including developing an exciting research program, becoming an outstanding mentor, and being a trusted and valued collaborator by your colleagues.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are always going to be some things that stand in the way of this \u2013 from bad luck to once-in-a-century pandemics \u2013 but the fundamentals remain the same. Doing stuff that is productive and meaningful is one of the keys that we need to move forward.<\/p>\n

MEET PEOPLE<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The second half of the equation is meeting people. As the Mole pointed out above, things like mentorship and collaboration are important. If you\u2019re in academic research where we focus very intently on one thing for years at a time, networking may not be something you love. Nonetheless, meeting people (in a COVID-safe way) is still going to be essential for surviving the turbulence ahead.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are just as many ways to meet people in professional contexts as there is stuff to do.<\/p>\n

Some people might be the type to contact strangers and ask for\u00a0informational interviews<\/a>. Others, might be the kind to send their recent paper in an email to a professor they admire to let them know about their work.<\/p>\n

My preferred way of meeting people at work is at work. When you do stuff, like volunteering for open days or joining a project, you meet people. Every time you meet someone and they get to know you and how good you are at doing stuff, there is a small chance that they will be in a position to help you in the future. It might range from something as small as sharing a job ad, to as major as investing in your start-up, but as long as you keep meeting people you\u2019ll always be in a position to reap those rewards.<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T DESPAIR<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Times look bleak and the outlook for funding and opportunities in academia only ever seems to get worse. But the fundamentals of career progression have not changed:\u00a0If we keep doing stuff and meeting people, we\u2019ll keep developing our skills, reputations, and networks.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pandemic or not, these fundamentals are the only things that are really important for creating career opportunities for us.<\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t despair. Even if you or I join this round\u2019s \u201clost generation\u201d of academics, we will probably be OK. In fact, we\u2019ll probably just double our salaries.<\/p>\n
