Despite your graduate education, brainpower, and technical prowess, your career in scientific research is far from assured. Permanent positions are scarce, science survival is rarely part of formal graduate training, and a good mentor is hard to find. This exceptional volume explains what stands between you and a fulfilling long-term research career. Bringing the key survival skills into focus, A Ph.D. is Not Enough! proposes a rational approach to establishing yourself as a scientist. It offers sound advice on selecting a thesis or postdoctoral adviser, choosing among research jobs in academia, government laboratories, and industry, preparing for an employment interview, and defining a research program. This book will help you make your oral presentations effective, your journal articles compelling, and your grant proposals successful. A Ph.D. is Not Enough! should be required reading for anyone on the threshold of a career in science. Since 1974, solid state physicist Peter J. Feibelman has been at Sandia National Laboratories, where he is a Senior Scientist. In 1989 he won the Davisson-Germer Prize of the American Physical Society, and in 1996 the Medard W. Welch Award of the American Vacuum Society, for outstanding research in Surface Science. Feibelman received a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, San Diego in 1967, did postdoctoral research at the C.E.N. Saclay (France) and the University of Illinois (Urbana), then spent three years as Assistant Professor of Physics at S.U.N.Y., Stony Brook. |
