Research Strategies
Some suggestions.
+Sole or Co-Authored?
Definitely more fun working with other people than by yourself! Probably resulting in higher quality output.
“Senior” or “junior” co-authors?
How to find them?
How to deal with problems?
+Topic Identification and Method Choice: Being pragmatic
Time constraints?
Expertise?
Avoid ‘sensitive’ topics in early career
Avoid ‘sponsored’ projects in early career…
+
Combining Research
+Combining Research with Teaching
Plan your (academic) year!
If possible, focus on one thing at a time! But also: during teaching prep, see if you can filter out
interesting topics for research, and vice versa!
Thesis supervision can be used for research!
+Combining Research with the Rest of your Life
Ages 25-40: Everything is supposed to happen…
Accept that you can’t be at two places at the same time, and wear your “hats” to the fullest!
Set your priorities…
+
The European Job Market
+The European Job Market
Less formalized job market. Individual applications at schools. Not all positions are necessarily advertised!
Moving increasingly toward the North American system in terms of tenure arrangements, publication requirements etc. However, teaching load is typically low in the first years.
+The European Job Market
Excellent career opportunities for well-trained researchers (i.e., you!) Schools are aching for good candidates with North American
research background and network.
Most “advanced” countries: NL and UK. But also Germany, Scandinavia, Spain, France, Eastern Europe
NL: Post-graduate CPA education is given by universities, providing excellent access to auditing firms
Quality of life in Europe: Great social benefits Emphasis on work-life balance Culture and history
+Thank you for your attention!Any questions are welcome.
