Tension points in the talent pipeline (Postdoc&RA recruitment)
Dear Colleagues,
I hope everyone is keeping well.
We are recruiting two staff members (a postdoctoral researcher and a research assistant) for a research project. I would be very grateful if you could share this with your networks and potentially interested contacts. (The deadline is tight, 10th of Sept, but only due to the timeline of the funding starting asap)
Growing scientific research talent requires technical training, material resources, and nurturing researchers' social well-being. Robust evidence highlights the importance of a conducive social, legal, and economic environment to recruit new talented workers, enhance their training and facilitate their employment progression. Thus, this Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) funded investigation will explore these factors alongside the workplace factors necessary to achieve an equitable and socially beneficial research talent pipeline and researcher career progression in Ireland, Denmark, and Singapore. Qualitative oral history interviews (n=90) will capture the lived experiences of Postdoctoral researchers in Biotechnology, Digital Technology and Energy Engineering. A portion of these interviews will be carried out online, with 2 international fieldwork trips (estimated as two-three weeks in Denmark and Singapore). 12 Value Stream Maps will document the existing research talent pipelines across different fields and nations. These annotated maps will illuminate the constraints and blockages within the pipelines, paying particular attention to aspects of gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and disciplinary differences. Finally, two training events will be held in Ireland with visits from our international academic experts delivering a public lecture regarding science policy research, an expert seminar in relation to a specific topic related to the project, and one-to-one visits with PhD students and Postdoctoral staff within science policy research. Robust, actionable recommendations will be made to organisations and postdoctoral managers. The research will be a comparative, cross-national community study conducted in Ireland, Denmark and Singapore.
The research team is composed of Dr Ingrid Holme, Dr Brendan Flynn, Dr Alexander Sting at the University of Galway, Prof. Pat O'Connor (UL), Prof. Susi Geiger (UCD), Dr Shane O'Donnell (UCD), Dr Jennifer Keenahan (WITS), Prof. Jane Calvert (The University of Edinburgh) and Dr. Conor Douglas (York University).
