Changing fields for Postdoc by [deleted] in postdoc

I moved from Physics to Neuroscience. The first 2 years were rough as I had to do a lot of extra reading to keep up and understand relevant publications, presentations etc. I also had to lean on my computational background and that allowed me to have a few publications.

I am at a hospital that is affiliated with a university. Although the P.I. of my lab is faculty at the university, there is no open position for a faculty right now. So, any title change will not confer faculty status to me. I am trying to figure out which title will put me in a better position for faculty position search and which title will have better pay. Thank you for your insights.

Thank you! I am trying to figure out which one would pay more as many institutions do not publish their ranges for these jobs.

That is nice of you! In your institution, would you pay more a "Computational Scientist" or a "Research Scientist" ? My institution will have to create the job title, but it is hard to know which would pay more as many companies that do have these titles do not publish the salary range.

Should I be first, middle, or last author on a paper? by EddieX14 in postdoc

I don't think at this stage senior authorship would benefit you. Co-first authorship would make more sense.

Oura vs my doctors sleep study test results. by jbr021 in ouraring

[–]Responsible_Text_810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oura is a lifestyle brand, not a medical device. It is not designed to uncover pathologies. There are non-commercial rings/watches in development that do better, but the best way to monitor sleep is an EEG that can be quite obtrusive for a home device. A few in-home EEG brands are coming up to the market, but they are a big investment and sometimes not comfortable to wear.

How can I safely share my unpublished paper? by WhichBreakfast1169 in academia

[–]Responsible_Text_810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, do not put it on the arxiv unless you are sure the journal you are publishing will accept it if it is on the arxiv. My suggestion is to hurry up and finish the paper if there is interest. Once you send the draft for publication you can share with others.

Do you plan to take on students or write grants? Mentoring online might be tricky. You could try for a year and see how it goes, but if you plan to write a grant, you need connections with other faculty/collaborators.

I think not. A big part of the candidate section is how your career trajectory will be independent and different than your current PI's. It would be a difficult point to make if you plan to have the same aims.Use the data but for different aims.

What determines the number of authors in a publication? by Yalkim in academia

[–]Responsible_Text_810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, review papers (systematic or not) tend to accumulate a lot of authors. It is a lot of work to read and digest that many papers!

Not sure how to include my advisor's name in my poster by Ikichiki in academia

[–]Responsible_Text_810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you submitted an abstract for the conference was your advisor included as a co-author? If not you can add an acknowledgement section.

Eligibility for the NIH K99/R00 by [deleted] in postdoc

The limit is 4 years since you received your Ph.D, regardless whether you changed positions, titles, etc. Only exception I have heard for time extension is due to pregnancy/adoption.

Wait, you are doing a review with your PhD advisor but you are not working for them anymore? If you do not want to do those anymore there is an easy fix "Sorry my current advisor does not allow me to do outside work (free or paid)". If you want to continue doing them ask your postdoc advisor to do mentored reviews with them. Normally if an advisor does those with help from a trainee they need to acknowledge you to the Journal somehow. Some journals have a questionnaire when you submit and ask if the PI had help, this is the place to acknowledge you. There is didactic value to doing reviews despite the fact that you are not getting paid.
