促进非HEP职业过渡
Facilitating Non-HEP Career Transition
摘要:
大约三分之二的物理学博士在学术界和国家实验室以外的领域建立职业生涯,如软件,仪器仪表,数据科学,金融,医疗保健,新闻,公共政策和非政府组织。在HEPA(高能物理和天体物理)研究期间开发的技能和知识作为本科生,研究生或博士后水平(统称为早期职业生涯)一直在行业中受到追捧。这些技能是解决复杂问题的能力,软件编程,数据分析,数学,统计和科学写作,仅举几例。鉴于绝大多数人向该行业工作过渡,应加强现有的过渡途径,并确定和开发促进这种过渡的新方法。HEPA与其校友之间的强有力的参与将是一个先决条件。这也可能导致创造性的方法来扭转“人才流失”,鼓励校友合作的HEPA研究项目,或可能回来全职研究。我们激励和讨论以下几个可操作的建议,HEPA机构以及HEPA教师导师可以加强识别学生和博士后的非HEP职业机会的能力,以及帮助更充分地发展技能,如有效的网络,简历建设,项目管理,风险评估,预算规划,仅举几例。这将有助于帮助早期职业HEPA科学家成功地从学术界过渡到各种非传统职业。HEPA校友可以通过参与这一过程发挥关键作用。
英文摘要:
About two-third of Physics PhDs establish careers outside of academia and the national laboratories in areas like Software, Instrumentation, Data Science, Finance, Healthcare, Journalism, Public Policy and Non-Governmental Organization. Skills and knowledge developed during HEPA (High Energy Physics and Astrophysics) research as an undergraduate, graduate or a postdoc level (collectively called early career) have been long sought after in industry. These skills are complex problem solving abilities, software programming, data analysis, math, statistics and scientific writing, to name a few. Given that a vast majority transition to the industry jobs, existing paths for such transition should be strengthened and new ways of facilitating it be identified and developed. A strong engagement between HEPA and its alumni would be a pre-requisite for this. It might also lead to creative ways to reverse the "brain drain" by encouraging alumni to collaborate on HEPA research projects or possibly come back full time to research. We motivate and discuss below several actionable recommendations by which HEPA institutions as well as HEPA faculty mentors can strengthen both ability to identify non-HEP career opportunities for students and post-docs as well as help more fully develop skills such as effective networking, resume building, project management, risk assessment, budget planning, to name a few. This will help prepare early career HEPA scientists for successfully transitioning from academia to the diverse array of non-traditional careers available. HEPA alumni can play a pivotal role by engaging in this process.
