Study volunteers needed [born 1999-2003]: social media interviews.
Dear all! I am in desperate need for study participants. My Master's thesis is entirely dependent on this study and currently I need more volunteers... I am looking for university students, born between 1999-2003, keen social media users, willing to talk about their experience of using social media during COVID-19 in an interview. If you fulfill some of the criteria, please get in touch! Are you 18 or older? Did you live away from home when the coronavirus pandemic started? Do you use social media? Then you're the perfect candidate! Data collection includes a 30 min Zoom interview and a 3min online survey. If you are keen to participate, please reach me at z.a.kurska[at]lse.ac.uk. Thank you!

Gift ideas for a PhD Grad starting an assistant professorship at a teaching university?
A good friend of mine is defending and I want to get (or make) her something (~$40-50) for her graduation/birthday. I think it would be nice to get her something that might help her next year at her new job. What do you wish you had before you started as a prof?

Haven't heard from PhD application past deadline; should I contact the PI?
Hi. A few months ago I applied for a PhD position in Italy, funded by a scholarship. I went through the interviews with the PI this month, and he told me that he would let me know by the end of this month (May) if I get the position. It's now the end of the month, and I haven't heard anything from him. I've checked the website of the project, and it says the same thing; there are no updates regarding the winners of the scholarship. Should I write him an email asking politely if there's been a hold back or if the application process is getting longer? If so, should I write to the PI or the scholarship committee? Many thanks for your help! Submitted May 31, 2021 at 06:27PM by arthrospira via reddit https://ift.tt/3fAd7Wx
Bully Prof in Another Department
I'm approaching my first postdoc interview in a department that's tangential to mine. I actually worked briefly for another professor in the same university before beginning my PhD, and he was a real POS. Without getting into too much detail, I was cautioned against working with him at first and he delivered in every way imaginable. I was writing grant applications and papers in his name and his colleagues' names for almost a year (for free) just for a letter of recommendation. He kept putting it off and saying he didn't know me well enough and needed me to do more work for him. And he was very paranoid I was sharing his ideas with a rival professor with whom I had worked (I never shared anything). In the end, I severed the relationship and he really let me have it. Said never to speak to him again, made insinuations about my character, work ethic, etc. I've done my best to avoid him over the years, but this guy is squarely within my discipline, at the same university where I'm interviewing, albeit in another department. I know eventually we would cross paths if I got the job or the PI will want to introduce us. I'm a little worried he'll come up in the interview. Any ideas how to handle this? Is it wise to pretend I don't know him? Or should I say I already know him? I don't want the PI to ask him about me. Anecdotally, I was told by the rival professor that everyone knows he's awful, but I'm not sure how true that is. I've avoided asking others to see if it's common knowledge, because I just want to forget it ever happened. It's definitely not on my CV. Any advice appreciated. I really want this job :/ Submitted May 31, 2021 at 04:01PM by kensianna via reddit https://ift.tt/3vEqFpQ
How to address misinformation from your field on social media?
Hi, I don't usually post so I'm not sure if this is the right place. I've been posting about getting vaccinated (Oxford-Astrazeneca) on my social media and someone from my secondary school keeps commenting miss information about the vaccines. They say we're all "lab rats and we haven't done enough research to find out for ourselves." Then go on about how they feel that the BBC lies... you know the kind of arguments I'm talking about. So I shared some links to youtube videos that explain clearly how vaccines work and the trial process, including the new mRNA vaccines in an accessible (dumbed down) way. But that clearly lead to nothing and I honestly don't know what to do? Should I just delete all their S**t posts on my account? How do you address this kind of thing? when you see that people misunderstand something from your field? Submitted May 31, 2021 at 02:25PM by 47895 via reddit https://ift.tt/3p5aHm5
I have a postdoc interview tomorrow and I think I have over stated my abilities in my CV. How do I address it during the interview?
I received a postdoc interview invitation at a prestigious group under a reputed PI. The professor works in a loosely related field "X" and is looking for people with expertise in the field. I have just started to work on "X" (since March 2021) and am planning to do more dedicated work on the "X" in the next 6 months. In my cover letter, among other things, I wrote that I have been working on "X" topic as part of my PhD thesis. Now, I am sure I received the call due the mention of "X" in my CV. However, it is evident that I don't know much about "X" and will be asked about it in detail. Now, I am scared for the interview. They might make a mockery out of me. Is there a way to address this before the interview? Submitted May 31, 2021 at 03:57AM by poobreakphilosopher via reddit https://ift.tt/3fxlZMG

Elite PhD programs and age discrimination?
So I know that age is just a number and that if somebody is passionate enough they can find a position, but I wanted to get r/academia 's view on whether its realistic for somebody in their mid-30's who is academically successful, yet something of a drifter career-wise to expect to get into an "elite" program (i.e. a STEM PhD at the Stanford/MIT/CMUs of the world)? I have an undergraduate degree in medicine from the EU, which I hated every minute of. I hated clinical practice even more, yet did it for 5 years in my home country before emigrating to the US in my late 20s thinking the prospect of earning a US physician's salary would make me like medicine. Long story short, it didn't. I ended up liking my post-doctoral research job way more than clinical medicine and ended up staying as a postdoc for 5 years. There was something of an ulterior motive to this as I applied and got my US permanent residency during this time. I already have ~50 publications to my name, in some pretty reputable journals and have received international media attention for my work. During this time I became involved in medical machine learning research, and ended up enrolling in a data science masters. Since then I've fallen in love with coding, stats and machine learning. I now want to push the field of medical machine learning forward by conducting cutting edge research in this area. I therefore want to apply for a PhD in a highly quantitative subject like biostatistics after I finish my data science masters at an elite institution. The way I see it I have a few things going against me - my age and the fact that I have a highly unorthodox background spending 5 years in a somewhat menial post-doc position (though at prestigious institutions). Knowledgable people I've spoken to have said I could probably get in somewhere but elite institutions would automatically dismiss me because of my age and the fact that I spent so long as a post-doc already would make it look I was unfocused. They also say these places disproportionately select for very young hot shot types - which is something I totally get. I know that age discrimination is technically illegal, but it obviously happens cloaked as something else - but how much of a factor does age play when considering candidates at elite institutions?
