WHY THE FUSS ABOUT 'CAREER CONTROL'?


PhD students and postdocs face serious challenges to their careers as
researchers, less certainty of direction and a lack of job security.


Short-term contracts, an oversupply of PhDs in a hyper-competitive market for
research positions and scarcity of funding are ever-present worries.

Most early career researchers want to stay in academia, but there are fewer
opportunities than ever to do so.


CAREER SUCCESS TAKES PLANNING

Given the pressures and the competition, no emerging researcher can afford to
lose time or make career choices that don't capitalise on their strongest
abilities and personal priorities.


PhD students and postdocs need to know their options - within and beyond
academia - and plan their destinations early.



To make the best career choices, researchers must understand their own skills,
preferences and 'non-negotiables'. Creating a well-informed career plan is the
key to motivation, confidence and speed of progress.





NARROWER ACADEMIC CAREER PATHS - THE SCIENCES TELL THE STORY

2012 statistics showed only 21% of postdocs who expected a tenure-track position
actually secured one (Science Magazine annual postdoc survey).

Biomedical scientists' chances of remaining in academia long term are about 10%
(US National Institutes of Health Workforce Report, 2012; The Australian,
September 2012).

In the UK, only 3.5% of science PhDs are employed as permanent academic staff
(Royal Society's 'Scientific Century', 2010).

Career Control for Researchers steps PhD students and postdocs in any discipline
through creating a practical, achievable career plan that aligns precisely with

WHAT DOES CAREER CONTROL FOR RESEARCHERS OFFER?

The program gives postdocs and PhD students clarity about where to take their
careers and maps how they should focus their efforts to accelerate their
progress.

In four training modules spaced over 8 weeks, researchers create their own
comprehensive career plan and map how to put their plan into action. Also
included is a bonus module on transferrable skills and access to an extensive
career options database.




Career Control combines on-line material and exercises with interactive
components including webinars. The live events allow participants to ask direct
questions, learn from specialists about strategies to support their career
development, and share in their peers' experiences.
