Diversity
I'm currently working on my CV and having a rethink about what I want to do when my post doc contract expires next year. I am thinking that there is still lots I want to contribute to this field of research and would really like to continue in academia a bit longer. Anyway I realised there is no one around here to speak to about moving on, applying for grants, working on CVs or similar. Everyone just seems to go from PhD onto various grants and there is no real interview or application proceedure, people just get kept on as long as there is money from somewhere for them to do something. No wonder this department is a state. It seems a bit unhealthy to have such a static workforce, with nobody with fresh ideas or perspectives coming in. Even though I did my PhD at the same university as I am currently working at, at least I have moved faculty and work with completely new people and lab groups.
