Preface: What This Book Is About ix
Acknowledgements xv
1 Do You See Yourself in This Picture? 1
A set of nonfiction vignettes illustrating some of the ways
that young scientists make their lives more unpleasant than
necessary or fail entirely to establish themselves in a
research career.
2 Important Choices:
A Thesis Adviser, a Postdoctoral Job 17
A discussion of what to consider: young adviser versus an
older one, a superstar versus a journeyman, a small group
versus a "factory." Understanding and attending to your
interests as a postdoc.
3 Giving Talks 27
Preparing talks that will make people want to hire and
keep you, and that will make the information you present
easy to assimilate.
4 Writing Papers:
Publishing Without Perishing 39
Why it is important to write good papers. When to write
up your work, how to draw the reader in, how to draw
attention to your results.
5 From Here to Tenure:
Choosing a Career Path 53
An unsentimental comparison of the merits of jobs in
academia, industry, and in government laboratories.
6 Job Interviews 71
What will happen on your interview trip, the questions you
had better be prepared to answer.
7 Getting Funded 83
What goes into an effective grant proposal, how and when
to start writing one.
8 Establishing a Research Program 95
Tuning your research efforts to your own capabilities and
your situation in life, e.g., why not to start a five-year
project when you have a two-year postdoctoral
appointment.
Afterthoughts 107
A behaviorist approach to professional success. |
