Lecturer, reader, professor - three terms you will hear at UK universities. But what is the role of a lecturer and how to you get to be a professor? In this video I explain the UK academic ranks and what my job involves as a physics lecturer at a UK university.
All views are my own. #drcst #academiclife #university

​@@DrCST Hello Dr CST, I was wondering why people would go to work at a top university if the pay is about the same. Is there any reason? I believe if a lecturer works at a higher ranked university like UCL, IC, Manchester, Surrey etc, she/ he will be under more pressure compare to those who are working elsewhere?

How long does it take to be a Professor from Lecturer position? Does the university in UK can skip steps of promotion and promoted a young person straight to be a professor because of their exceptionally intellect and research?
@DrCST
@DrCST 3 жыл бұрын
Typically to get promoted to a UK professor you need to demonstrate excellence and leadership in your subject (great publications, recognised subject expert, significant department admin roles, research funding income, teaching experience etc). Usually this all takes time... but there is not a fixed timescale to go from lecturer to professor.

Just curious, I wonder if you become a professor, will you have the freedom and flexibility to focus more on researching or on one of the three main functions? Like when getting professorship on lecturer route, can you opt for researching more? And what if you're a professor in research, can you opt to teach more or do admin duties? Thanks for this wonderful video. 😊

A few people on the teaching pathway still conduct research in their specialist subjects, (eg physics, sociology etc). The vast majority on the teaching pathway tend to conduct research in the more educational/pedagogical aspects of their subjects. I do not believe it is possible to attain the rank of Professorial Teaching Fellow/Professor of Teaching in [named subject] with a zero record in publications. It´s more to do with the criteria for promotion. If you´re on the Lecturer pathway, the promotions committee will judge you primarily on a respectable balance in teaching and research productivity. For the teaching (or research) pathway, you will be judged primarily on absolute excellence in teaching (or research). In other words, you will not be promoted to a more advanced rank on the teaching pathway if your admin and research output are far superior to your teaching - basically you´re on the wrong track.

@DrCST
@DrCST 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching 😊 Whether you can lecturer without a PhD/whilst studying for one will depend on your subject and location. I'd suggest having a look at job adverts for lecturers in your field to see if the PhD is a requirement (jobs.ac.uk lets you search for lectureship roles in specific disciplines). For UK physics lecturers we do tend to need the PhD first. Hope this helps!

Each university will have their own requirements for PhD applications, generally they will be looking for students to have demonstrated a range of skills in their CV. Publishing a public essay/paper whilst an undergraduate is challenging and in my subject is not expected prior to starting a PhD. However publishing essays/papers forms a key component once a student is undertaking their PhD. Might be different depending on the subject and country - but I hope this helps.
