Doctoral writing as a promoter for researcher development and independence
The doctorate is a learning process that aims to develop new understanding, with the ultimate goal of acquiring research-related skills and competencies required to become an independent researcher capable of autonomous work within teams. However, doctoral candidates often face numerous challenges throughout this journey. Writing is frequently identified as one of the most salient challenges. We leverage a Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHA…
The Role of Parenthood in Shaping PhD Holders' Careers Beyond Academia
The study investigates the impact of parenthood on the careers of PhD holders who work outside academia, with a focus on gender differences. It analyses the dialogues between professional and parental roles of 38 Spanish PhD holders from various disciplines, their interaction with social discourses about parenthood and the outcomes of these dialogues to identify the impact of parenthood on participants' careers. Dialogues and discourses about par…
The association between PhD holders’ experiences of professional support and work engagement and burnout
Most new PhD graduates are going to have non-academic careers, but research on their work experience has so far been limited, particularly regarding the quality of professional interactions and how they contribute to their occupational wellbeing. This paper reports on experiences of professional support among PhD holders working outside academia. The dynamics between professional support from colleagues, burnout symptoms and work engagement were …
Collaborative writing among PhD holders in non-academic careers
This study explores the collaborative writing practices of PhD holders working in non-academic environments, investigating disciplinary variations and their effects on work engagement and burnout. Using survey about professional experiences and competences responded by over 500 PhD holders in Spain, we identified that collaborative writing practices in non-academic settings involve frequently co-authoring, editing, and providing feedback on colle…
PhD holders at the boundaries and knowledge brokering
Over the past decade, there has been an increase in the number of PhDs pursuing careers at the boundaries between academic and non-academic sectors, particularly with multiple transitions and dual appointments. However, the professional links that PhD holders pursuing non-academic careers maintain with academia and how these relate to different knowledge brokering activities across sectors remain unexplored. To fill this gap, 39 PhD holders worki…
Researchers’ strategies to cope with the covid-19 impact on their activity
This study aims to characterize the strategies researchers used to cope with Covid-19 impact and to explore the relationship between those strategies, researchers’ characteristics and the pandemic impact in their lives. 721 researchers, proportionally distributed among three Spanish regions, answered an online survey on the pandemic impact on their activity. Scales referred to social support, productivity, research tasks, working conditions, and …
PhD holders’ working conditions and job satisfaction in Spain
The present study aimed to compare PhD holders’ current working conditions, satisfaction, and changes in their job four years after graduation across three job sectors, namely universities, research institutes and industry. We analysed the responses to the survey on PhD graduates’ employability of the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency, AQU Catalunya. Participants were 1,798 PhD holders from all disciplines who graduated between 2014 and…
Exploring writing processes in authentic writing tasks
Post-PhD Researchers’ Trajectories and Networking
The present study used a longitudinal mixed-method design to investigate the relationship between post-PhD researchers’ writing conceptions and their experiences, scholarly trajectory, and networking capabilities. A total of 134 Spanish post-PhD researchers answered the Post-PhD Experience—Survey scales on Academic Writing and Social Support. One year later, a subsample of 21 participated in retrospective multimodal interviews, in which visual me…
What perspectives underlie ‘researcher identity’? A review of two decades of empirical studies
Over the past two decades, identity has emerged as a concept framing studies of early career researcher experience. Yet, identity is an amorphous concept, understood and used in a range of ways. This systematic review aimed to unpack the underpinnings of the notion of researcher identity. The final sample consisted of 38 empirical articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the last 20 years. Analyses focused on (a) identifying the dimensions…
Evaluating the Impact of Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health and widespread problem, and perpetrator programmes are in a unique position to work towards the end of gender-based violence. However, in order to promote safe perpetrator work, it is crucial to focus on the impact of IPV on the victims and survivors. In this context, little research has triangulated data by including both, victim's perspectives on the impact that IPV has on them and also men's l…
Examining cross-national research teamwork
Purpose Teamwork has long featured in social science research. Further, with research increasingly “cross-national,” communication becomes more complex, for instance, involving different cultures, languages and modes of communication. Yet, studies examining team communicative processes that can facilitate or constrain collaboration are rare. As a cross-national European team representing varied disciplines, experiences, languages and ethnicities,…
Early career researchers making sense of their research experiences
Early career researchers’ journey (i.e. doctoral researchers and post-PhDs) is increasingly challenging, but little is known about how they live and interpret their significant experiences, that is how they attribute meaning to these experiences and their associated feelings. Moreover, research about how doctoral researchers and post-PhDs deal differently with such experiences remains scarce, especially when accounting for the interpretation of s…
