While academia offers some well-trodden career paths – from PhD, then postdoc to lecturer, professor, departmental head and ultimately into university leadership – there are plenty of alternative routes to success in higher education.
On this week’s episode of Campus Talks, we find out how individuals can carve out their own unique careers within the university hierarchy while still demonstrating the necessary knowledge and skills to those all-important promotion and recruitment panels.
Harriet Dunbar-Morris, the new deputy president and chief academic officer at South East Technological University (SETU), in Ireland, offers her take on how those in higher education can best prepare for the next career move but also what university recruiters themselves could do to attract a greater diversity of talent.
Harriet, who was previously pro vice-chancellor academic and provost at the University of Buckingham, shares her own career-building strategies, what success looks like for her and why demonstrating impact can and should go beyond just publication and funding records.
