论文摘要
早期职业研究员(ECR)的发展是一个动态的挑战,即对建立可接受的工作安全水平的最终实践愿望进行开创性研究的冲动。 ECR没有典型的职业道路,至少是生命或生物物理/生物物理学领域的所有事业。通过不同的家庭学术机构和部门,在物理生活科学界面上明确地跨学科为多种职业轨迹带来了更多机会,并在非学术领域提供了更广泛的未来职业轨迹。也就是说,有一些关键的共同特征,例如固定期限后合同的暂时性性质,这些列出的实质性研究和国内挑战,以及在就业市场中竞争现实的压力压力。在这篇简短的文章中,我概述了生命物理学对ECRS的关键挑战,并讨论了管理和可能克服它们的简单策略。
Early Career Researcher (ECR) development is a dynamic challenge that tensions the urge to perform ground-breaking research against an ultimate practical aspiration of establishing an acceptable level of job security. There is no typical career path for an ECR, least of all in the area of the Physics of Life or Biophysics/Biological Physics. Being explicitly interdisciplinary across the physical-life sciences interface presents more opportunities for a multiplicity of career trajectories through different home academic institutions and departments, as well as offering a broader range of alternative future career trajectories in non-academic sectors. That said, there are key common features, such as the transient nature of fixed-term postdoc contracts, the substantial research and domestic challenges that these present, and the often overwhelming pressures of the realities of competition in the job market. In this short article I outline the key challenges to ECRs in the Physics of Life and discuss simple strategies to manage and potentially overcome them.
