Abstract

Rising worldwide scrutiny of the PhD has focused on issues such as return on investment and career outcomes. This article investigates PhD graduate careers and knowledge transfer looking at the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS). Firstly, our extensive literature review of PhD graduate outcomes reveals limited knowledge of HASS careers and a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) bias. Secondly, our case study of graduates suggests HASS PhDs provide a vital conduit for end-user engagement and knowledge transfer. Our findings deepen knowledge about the careers of HASS PhDs by revealing pre-existing professional networks may be harnessed to inform end-user relationships throughout candidature and post-graduation. Contrary to dominant assumptions, these networks may endure even for graduates in the academy. This under-recognized phenomenon demonstrates the multi-sector knowledge transfer capacity of HASS researchers with implications for their research capability and career development needs and perceptions of the value of their research.

HASS博士研究生的职业生涯和知识转移:持久的多部门网络的管道

世界范围内对博士学位越来越多的关注集中在投资回报和职业成果等问题上。本文从人文、艺术和社会科学(HASS)的角度研究博士研究生的职业生涯和知识转移。首先，我们对博士毕业生成果进行了广泛的文献回顾，发现对HASS职业的了解有限，并且存在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)方面的偏见。其次，我们对毕业生的案例研究表明，HASS博士为最终用户参与和知识转移提供了一个重要渠道。我们的研究结果通过揭示现有的专业网络可以在候选人和毕业后的整个过程中为最终用户关系提供信息，从而加深了对HASS博士职业生涯的了解。与主流假设相反，这些网络甚至可能对学院毕业生持续存在。这一未被充分认识的现象表明，HASS研究人员的多部门知识转移能力对他们的研究能力和职业发展需求以及对其研究价值的看法有影响。
