How does one rise from being a lowly undergraduate to an esteemed professor? Three scientists explain how the academic system works and how they won recent promotions. More about what science is REALLY like at www.test-tube.org.uk/

This job literally has no extrinsic value, at least not until one climbs the ladder, but the process is so long and strenuous that one has to wonder if the reward at the end does any justice to the investment demanded all throughout. It is so sad, these are the people that truly make a contribution to humanity, but what else can one expect from a society that does not value education. I now have a much more profound respect for all my tenure professors.

What do you mean by "all my tenure professors"? In my whole degree I was never taught by one full professor, they're too busy running their departments to be giving classes to undergrads. I had plenty of senior lecturers or associate professors but not *the* professor, let alone more than one (were they from different departments?)
@forkevbot
@forkevbot 5 жыл бұрын
@@QuasiELVIS Perhaps where you live it is somewhat different? I had a number of tenured professors who ran courses. I had one in sociology, one in math, one in a critical reading course, and one in physics at least. So quite a wide range of disciplines. It was in the US. It was at a very large university that has a lot of research, and was somewhere between average and ivy league as far as ranking/reputation in most areas. In all of these cases, the professors enjoyed teaching. Also I think maybe I actually had 3-4 tenured professors run my courses in physics (my major) because the department was somewhat small and a large portion of the upper level electives are taught by tenured professors.

In high school my longest paper was maybe 8 pages. In college I studied psychology with a minor in neuroscience and another minor in chemistry. My first semester psychology course final was a 20 page paper. First semester sophomore psych paper was 40 pages. Junior final was 60 pages. Senior final was a 12 month long intensive research project with a 100 page written thesis. It ramped up slowly, perhaps, but by the end it was hardcore.

Moses Bullrush Whether "global warming" is real or not, the effects of addressing are beneficial for 99.9% of the human population (the 99.9% that don't make billions of of selling oil,coal etc.) why? Simple, because the hydrocarbon bi products of burning fossils fuels are harmful to human health. Replacing them with a clean, harmless energy source isn't a bad thing, and any sane person would be wise to encourage governments to address the issue of "global warming" even if they do not believe in it, for the sole purpose of creating a cleaner, healthier environment for everybody.

just to leave comments Hydrocarbon emmissions have been cleaned up by catalytic converters, acid rain and smog have been dealt with, CO2 emissions remain and that is why cars and power stations are evaluated according to the CO2 emissions. CO2 is not pollution, we need more CO2 which will boost plant growth and make the earth bloom with abundance, that is why they want to squash CO2 emissions and limit food production and limit population survival. Video Title: Seeing Is Believing /watch?v=P2qVNK6zFgE Do you really believe they want to limit CO2 because they care about us? The EPA movement is designed to crush the economy of America and force Americans down to lower economic levels which make ordinary people dependent on the Government.

University of Rochester is well known for optics. University of Colorado Boulder is well known for Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics. But every big university should have research groups in most major categories of research. I sort of let fate influence my decision. I was told I should choose the school that I am are willing to live in for years, and that what specifically you do in research comes secondary. I chose the University of Maryland College Park because it was more metropolitan (near DC) among the two universities :( that I got accepted to. I'm hoping to take advantage of my 1st year lab rotations to get some breadth and exposure, but ultimately, I will probably work in the field of ultrafast lasers.

There really should be a webpage or a lecture where they talk about all the career related things.

It turns out that after 10-15 years of training, 90-95% of postdocs are simply discarded... despite being the principal agents involved in research (lecturers usually have to divide their time between writing papers, lecturing, and applying for grants, rarely stepping into the lab...) A pretty shocking way to run an industry, and curiously relatively recent. I have met many retired professors who got their first 'grown up job' after their masters degree at age 23-24.

from what I know, this step is not that bad actually. You just cut and paste the results that you have been working on for the past 4 years. The rest is just a motivation for the reader in the form of a historical introduction and possible applications, so writing the thesis isn't that bad. The hard part, and it depends mostly on the level of assholeness/professionalism of your advisor, is coming up with the results.

the formal time is 3 years. but it depends on your subject and research. if you doing researching in chemistry and stuff you might need more time because of the experiments. it also depends on if you have funding. if you do and it is for 3 years usually people stick to that period of 3 years because they do not have the money to fund themselves for more years. so an average time i would say is 3 to 5 years (there are exceptions to this however)

Some people think you must have a phd to be a professor and some are asking do you need a phd to be a professor. First of all, between these two, getting a phd is the easy part. Secondly, no, actually you don't need a phd to become a professor even at a prestigious university, but those appointments are quite rare. You need to have a very distinguished career. To get a famous director to teach film studies, a former president to teach politics, a former Fortune 500 CEO to teach business, etc, a university would appoint them as full professors. For eg, Tim Berners-Lee is apparent a professor of computer science at both Oxford and MIT and as far as I can find he doesn't have an earned phd.

What I think people in the comments are missing is that yes, it's a long road with a lot of steps, but if you're passionate about it then all the steps in between should be worthwhile to you. If you view the road to professor as the longest internship ever then it's not the right work for you.

The longest essay I've had to write is 500 words, and I'm going into grade 12 this September. I certainly can write a fairly long thesis, but I do agree that the schools are not properly preparing us for university.

I've had Lecturers in economics courses who were still PhD students, due to there being a shortage of Econ professors at my university. But is it common for PhD students to teach a class of 100 people elsewhere?

research fellowship is typically a position where you sign up to a university as an employee working on research as part of a group with a specific focus. post doc and fellowship are not mandatory in my experience but they help a lot if you are looking to become a lecturer. with some luck and if your PhD is in a field that a university is interested in, you may jump to lectureship immediately.

In many universities, you can become a teaching assistant or research assistant which brings in a stipend that funds your education and living expenses. The funding comes either from the department or from the professor's grant of whom you are doing research for. A fellowship is money from a different source, and usually the stipulations for a fellowship doesn't nearly involve the type of time commitment as a research assistantship. This would allow you to not have to be a TA and not have to draw money from the professor's grant, which could potentially free up time on your end, and the professor's grant money - that would have been used to pay for your RA stipend - could be used for other purposes (i.e. purchasing lab equipment). A fellowship is essentially free money with some minor stipulations. Of course, you would have to be 1) eligible for it 2) apply and be selected for it. There are different fellowships for different purposes, like fellowships that support people in specific fields, fellowships that support people of certain demographics, fellowships that support people in certain stages of their education, fellowships that support people with specific career interests. The application process involves writing a personal statement and getting letters of recommendations (usually 3).

Ya i know that, that's what i said. You said that the universities must open their doors to the ordinary public, which implied that they were shutting ordinary people out. In fact the problem lies in the secondary schools, universities are just as open, if not more so, as they used to be.

iluvmaryam You would get a scholarship paying for your studies and basic living cost. If you don't get a scholarship... Well then your qualifications and the research you are doing doesn't seem to be impressive to those sponsoring bodies, so better up the ante!
