Colleagues, Here is a synopsis of my pathway to the RA profession: Graduated from a small college, with a self-directed BA in psychology. I intended to go on for a Ph.D., but life got in the way. As a mother in a young beginning family, I went to work as an office receptionist & learned a great deal about the office environment. I found I had a talent working with numbers (bookkeeping back in the days before computers) & graduated into an accounting position with a small insurance agency. After I had my 2nd child, I left this job for a few months & then eventually ended up at a departmental accounting position with a university. I enjoyed learning the ropes & eventually ended up running a medium sized department accounting office, where we had a fair number of diverse grants. After 13 years as a departmental post-award administrator, I became interested in learning about the pre-award processes & took a job at the university's medical school doing both pre & post-award functions as a departmental administrator. After several years, I took a central RA position with a larger cancer center at the same university. Each of these job changes allowed me to learn & grow, adding to my knowledge & experience base. As I moved up the latter, I found I had less & less direct interaction with faculty researches, which I always had thoroughly enjoyed. Following ~ 19 years at this research intensive university, I took a job at a smaller university in their central SP office, where I worked my way up to a senior RA, into assistant director & then associate director of the office, which I retired from in 2017. However, I felt like I had more to give to the profession & have since worked part time for 2 PUI universities, so I'm semi-retired & have been for over 3 years. Other than enjoying working directly with faculty investigators & their staff, I very much enjoyed the professional training activities I did & the mentoring of of 2 very dear former colleagues. I was always fortunate to have mentor myself & it has been great to continue giving in the profession - I wouldn't change any moment in my career progression.

Now I’ve made my way into actual Department Research Admin roles and learning a lot but basically self-taught from the start since no one was around to train me on anything. That’s it in a nut shell.

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?

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.

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.
