  1. Just had a wonderful, enriching conversation with another independent scholar in ecocriticism, and she mentioned that while she had looked for Canadian alt-ac or independent scholarly networks, she hadn't been able to find any.

    @academicchatter @academics @CouragePhD @academicsunite anyone have any leads on something like this? There's a lot of American Alt-ac I know, but how about Canadians? I know you're out there...

  11. Searching for some inspiration for keeping up to date with research, while working as an ML /practitioner/. This blogpost from a social sciences researcher was a nice deviation from the usual advice of "listen to podcasts", "subscribe to newsletter", "do Kaggle challenges", "follow celebrity $YouTuber".

  12. Full-time #altac position as editor at Animal Behaviour (note: that's an Elsevier journal)

  13. I’m not moving to Alabama (state lawmakers are less than welcoming to my family + I like my corner of Appalachia) but the U of Alabama is hiring a tenure-track #dataScience Librarian starting at $100-120K for assistant professor (and posting salary range in job description). Probably a great job for someone who wants the combo of flexibility and impact of an #altAc job. careers.ua.edu/jobs/data-scien

  14. New posting! There’s no shortage of people and places offering advice to those #leavingacademia and seeking #AltAc careers, but here’s some tips based on my own recent experience of the process.👇Hope it helps, and a big thanks too to all who helped me 😊

  15. I have let this account languish for months, but I'm back! I have exactly one year left before my graduation with a master's degree, so I'll be posting about my thesis process.

    I also just last week learned about the existence of the public humanities and am very interested in that, so if you are too, I want to follow you.

  16. I wrote a piece talking about #academia and #altac jobs and transitioning between the two for Nature Human Behavior rdcu.be/dDcJ0

  17. Scholarly #publishing is full of people previously trained as researchers, but making that #altac career transition isn't always easy.

    The Society for Scholarly Publishing will hold a free webinar tailored to this topic, February 14.

  23. Falling behind: the postdoc conundrum…

    From Nature: Postdoc positions are not for the faint of heart, he [Van Goethem] concludes. “When you see your contemporaries doing regular jobs that didn’t require much studying, and they’re earning more and seeming happier, you can imagine that the enthusiasm for this career path dwindles very fast.”

  24. When @Zeb_Larson quit academia to become a software programmer, his friends would ask him: Why Can’t You Just Keep Doing Your Research on the Side? He wrote this piece as a response. Short version? Academic research makes for a lousy hobby.

  25. I officially have migrated from having 10s of scientific articles to (probably never) read open on my computer to my phone... and my work computer filled with infinite emails 😬

    Is this the next stage of my quantum career? 😶

  32. #reintroduction / #introduction post for newbies.

    I'm David, I'm a mathematician, and I share mathematics things that interest me, often merely adjacent (more or less) to my own expertise. Or sometimes just maths I think is cool.

    I also sometimes ask questions on maths topics I'm interested in, from a point of view of a non-standard foundational/philosophical approach to what is otherwise common and well-understood material.

    I'm happy to chat about maths, but I tend not to follow people back because I need to limit the amount of material in my timeline.

    My own work is #altac teaching of university mathematics, unpaid research and a bit of industry consulting. I have a blog where I post about research stuff, mostly. Link in bio.

  33. #Day10 concludes my summer research leave. I wrote the final blog post on my private website this time, summing up my experiences from the last ten days and the last ten years with a personal story and a statement of commitment to a project which has become a part of me: annikarockenberger.com/?p=1382 #EthicaComplementoria #DigitalScholarlyEdition #DigitalHumanities #AltAc #Academe #Ethics

  34. Building Beyond Academia- membership for #RecoveringAcademics closes tomorrow. $30 pm for Founding Members. I'm helping #academics build a business or look for an #altAc career. You are guided to create a version of yourself that doesn’t put you in another box. Build a professional identity showcasing valuable skills. Design a working style that allows autonomy and creativity. Create new ways of working while releasing old. Observe what brings vitality; do more of it. All in a supportive group

  35. This week, I'm back in the Pilot Plant to finish experiments we couldn't run 6 weeks ago because of force majeure on the logistics front. I'm very excited that in 2-3 weeks' time, we will have a full dataset on these trials, but it also means the end of the fun bit and the start of A) writing the report and B) the follow-up experiments, including a 2 year shelf life study. It feels like an accomplishment and just a small step in a long process at the same time. #AltAc #FoodSci #ProcessTechnology

  36. I didn't get an academic job (hence my radio silence: I've mostly been moping 😔 and brushing up on my python/R) and am currently looking at a pivot to data science/industry in general. I've got plans for learning the stuff I need to learn and I have a couple of bootcamp-y things lined up so I can get some more industry contacts and a line on the resume that looks vaguely like relevant experience.

    If anyone has advice about this sort of thing, I'd love to chat!

  37. Who is interested in a #RecoveringAcademics monthly membership which combines healing movement, workshops on #CV to #resume conversions, grief recovery and guest speakers each month? I'm calling it Building Beyond #Academia and it will have all #altAc needs as well as starting up a business

  38. A thought...
    Is it emotional baggage or emotional walls meant to protect you from the institutional harm that's been perpetrated?

  39. I have so many awesome and clever friends. Really proud of Dr. Taryn Foster, she's working at the nexus of coral research and robotics to upscale coral reef restoration projects. Check out this new 4 minute clip on the project!

  40. hello all, I'm now going public with my announcement of going on the #altAc job market. I'm looking for positions in/adjacent to #curriculumDesign, #UXResearch, #projectManagement, and #technicalWriting in/around #SciComm. Right now looking for positions in the Denver/Boulder metro areas or in the Eugene-PDX-Seattle corridor, and remote is also great. any and all help is appreciated!!

  41. I'm looking for someone that can help me convert an academic CV into a professional resume. This is the kind of task I could agonize over for years, so for the sake of time I really need to outsource it. Has anyone used a resume conversion service before, and if so, how did it go? I'd be grateful for any recommendations, tips, etc.

  42. Fed up and burnt out: ‘quiet quitting’ hits academia
    nature.com/articles/d41586-023
    "…they’re neither quitting nor being quiet about their desire to create healthier work–life boundaries, prioritize their #MentalHealth and reject toxic workplace cultures"

  43. Question for #anthrodon : Have you read / do you engage w Barbara Ehrenreich? Arguably one of the noncredentialed Amer writers who engaged most w/ anthro themes.

    If she were an anthro prof, wouldn't we all assign (or at least debate) her work all the time?
