I moved over from museum fundraising and development, which included an assortment of grantwriting and grant administration over the years as well as designing professional development, when I was ready for a change after I'd finished my DEd in adult education. I do almost exclusively preaward, so love being able to combine my grantwriting experience and my professional development experience, especially working with first-time PIs. I wish I'd found RA sooner as I've always joked that my career has been about helping other people do their jobs better.

Nonprofit fundraising and development is another accidental career path, though it seems more likely to catch entry-level folks starting out, especially if they look for jobs at their alma maters.

I have been at institutions where student workers in sponsored research then stayed in the career. I concur that having a student intern or work in sponsored research as a student is helpful in that it provides the student a look into the field so they know if it might be of interest and allows them to have some level of experience in sponsored programs when looking for a job, which may give them an advantage.

 

Great conversation,

This is all really good conversation.  There are very few positions that offer junior training experiences.  We just don’t learn about how-to’s of this job as an undergraduate.  At my previous institution, we did have one or two positions where we hired someone with no experience and trained them.   However, I largely see job announcements that want experience.

I’d like to expand the discussion on this.  I have some individuals coming out of college (Bachelor’s) who I am encouraging to look at positions in research administration; however, many of the positions are requiring a minimum number of years of experience in the field.  Are institutions offering truly entry level research admin positions and if so, how are you qualifying your experience requirements for these types of positions?  If we are offering training for this type of position in the field, are you able to direct them to how to enter the field?  More of a curiosity but also hoping to lead more individuals to this great profession!

Cristina –

 

I have not seen any developed material designed for prospective professionals interested in beginning a career in research administration.  Your student has accurately identified a gap that our profession has not done a very good job of filling yet.  Sometime in the coming months I’m planning a presentation for my institution designed to guide non-research admins in entry-level positions to our profession, but that is probably not helpful for your student at the moment. 

 

This topic is high on my professional priority list, so please share any materials you discover on this topic with the listserv.  Best of luck!

[External Email]

Hello! I am currently teaching a course about Research Management and Administration at NOVA University Lisbon targeted to the bachelor students. This is a new educational offer in Portugal and it is been developed in the frame of the ERASMUS+ funded project foRMAtion - https://www.formation-rma.eu/.

One of my students wants to create promotional materials for students to raise awareness about the profession (as she feels that it could be a great job opportunity, but totally unknown by the students). As far as I know, there is not particular promotional material (such as videos, social media channels, leaflets,...) for this target audience, since most of the materials are for the ones already in the profession. But, does anyone know any material about RMA for students?

Thank you in advance,

Cristina Oliveira - NOVA Lisbon University
