摘要

早期职业研究人员在学术界向独立过渡至关重要。世界各地的资助机构专门为希望领导首个独立项目、从博士后研究员过渡到首席研究员的研究人员设立了早期职业计划。我们采访了 51 位获得英国医学研究委员会早期职业奖学金或奖励的研究人员,并使用一种新型工具与 95 位研究人员进行了 18 次重点小组讨论。我们采用系统理论的方法表明,在成为独立研究人员的过程中,早期职业研究人员往往会掉进系统的夹缝中,因为系统没有将他们视为独立研究人员,他们不清楚自己在研究领域的职业发展途径,而且他们收到的有关职业发展的信息也相互矛盾。除了研究动机和性别等个人影响因素外,资金支持、机构承诺和更广泛的政治因素等环境因素也会影响个人的职业发展。早期职业研究人员并不总能感觉到他们获得了预期的机构支持。这些研究结果突显了早期职业研究人员在向独立过渡时所面临的结构性挑战,并表明在履行大学和研究机构支持研究人员职业发展的承诺方面仍有许多工作要做。所发现的挑战并非英国独有,可以为全球的资助政策提供借鉴。

Transitioning to independence in medical research: A qualitative study using a systems theory perspective

Early career researchers' transition to independence in academia is critical. Funding bodies across the world have established early career schemes specifically for researchers who are looking to lead on their first independent project, transitioning from postdoctoral researchers to principal investigators. We interviewed 51 individuals who had received an early career fellowship or award from the Medical Research Council in the UK and conducted 18 focused groups with 95 fellows using a novel tool to facilitate the discussion. Using a systems theory approach, we show that in the process of becoming independent, early career researchers often fall between the cracks of a system that fails to treat them as independent, they are not clear about career pathways in research, and they receive conflicting information about their career progression. More than individual influences, such as motivation for research and gender, contextual factors, such as funding support, institutional commitment and wider political factors influence the career progression of individuals. Early career researchers do not always feel they have the level of institutional support they expected. These findings highlight structural challenges that early career researchers face when transitioning to independence and suggest there is still ground to be covered to meet the commitment universities and research institutions to support the career development of researchers. The challenges identified are not unique to the UK context and can inform funding policies across the word.

期刊介绍: Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management. Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
