Academic Careers: What’s next after your PhD: Careers and Skills Dr. Felicity Boardman Assistant Professor, Warwick Medical School Felicity.Boardman@warwick.ac.uk

ESRC 1+ 3 Award (Sociology) (PhD awarded Jan 2010) Mildred Blaxter Post-Doctoral Fellowship 2011-2013 ESRC Future Research Leaders Award 2013-2017 Wellcome Trust Investigator Award 2017-present

My background: As I experienced it…

The act of becoming: doing your doctoral research Time spent 1+3 award is a gift- three years focused on your own research interests. Also a time for carving out professional (and personal) identity: where does my research fit in? What do I add? Where is this going? Who am I? Do I really want an academic career?

Flying the (doctoral) nest Academic careers are not as ‘prescribed’ as other careers Research funding and academic posts are hard to come by and highly sought after. Fixed term ‘contract hopping’ is quite usual This climate can leave you feeling insecure and uncertain about the future.

From Student to Staff: Preparing to Transition Deciding on an academic career means assessing what you value most in life (academia is not a standard 9-5 job) Learning to live with uncertainty has been one of the biggest challenges facing me in my career. The transition from student to staff member is a big jump in many areas. For me, the trade off was worth it!

What was the most use to me in establishing my career? Excellent mentorship Pursuing opportunities to research and teach during my doctoral studies Publishing Pursuing fellowships (developing my own research agenda) Perseverance!
