These are generally contracted posts for a determined length of time and will either be an advertised post on an existing research programme or in the form of a fellowship award to fund your own research in a particular area. Th
3、ese posts are usually seen as stepping stones into a permanent post at a university or in industry. A permanent academic post usually takes the form of a lectureship, which also involves teaching. Permanent research-only posts are rare in universities, but do also exist in research institutes or oth

Teaching at your institution If you have decided to stay in academia it can be challen
6、ging to make the transition from student to member of staff, but many scholars do find that their institution is able to offer them part time teaching while they find a more permanent academic position. It is a good option because you will be familiar with the department and the way things are done
7、and perhaps will already have teaching experience there and so will have less to prepare initially. Because people there know you they are more likely to help you to makeup a portfolio career, for example doing some teaching while working for a permanent member of staff as a research assistant. On t
8、he down side staying at the same institution can be restrictive for your career. It will mean that your range of experience is narrower; you will only know how things work at that one institution and you will only have experience of teaching on a limited number of courses. It is also easy to get int
9、o a comfort zone, which is hard to get out of, because it is hard to break out of familiar territory and set off on something new. If it doesnt look as though a more permanent and secure job is going to come up at your institution any time soon, it is worth making the break to move the next step up
10、the career ladder. Part-time temporary teaching elsewhere If there are no full-time, permanent positions around then its worth looking for part time work in other universities. Your supervisor can help with this because academics often contact each other looking for temporary staff to help out for s
11、hort periods of time, and often these positions are not advertised publicly if they are to be hourly paid. You may have responsibility for only one unit or class but it will still allow you to present a broader CV to future employers and you will learn a great deal from working with new colleagues a

Taking on roles such as this one can result in practical difficulties such as travelling to and from another institution, often at some distance from your home. It can seem as though you are spending a lot of money
13、getting this job and earning very little, but it will pay off in the end in terms of career development even though financially it may not be hugely beneficial and may actually be somewhat challenging.

15、op of their game. It also gives you some measure of financial security, for a few years at least. However, post-doctoral fellowships are extremely competitive sometimes with hundreds of applicants from across the world applying for one position.

16、idge regularly come up but these are the most difficult to get as they are the most sought after. If you had external funding for your PhD and have had a flawless record of submitting your PhD on time, and already have some publications to your name then you have more chance of being considered. If
17、you and your supervisor have been experts at networking then you also might stand a good chance at this stage. If the researcher seeking a postdoc knows you and your work then he or she is more likely to give the position to you than someone approaching them totally out of the blue. If you are able
18、to travel a long way to get this position and will even consider moving overseas then this also improves your chances. If your aim is to win a postdoc position then its important to have a plan B as well. It might take you months of waiting before you do land that position. Further reading: How to g

It used to be possible to take a break after your PhD before coming back to it with fresh eyes later. However, in todays comp
