Hinweis der Redaktion
- Let’s look at some position announcements
- Description of Research
- Statement of Planned Research
- Statement of Research Plan
- Statement of Research Interests and Plans
- Statement of Research Interest
- Every time you describe your research or engage in discussion about your research you are preparing to write this statement.
- Preparing this document is wonderful practice for interviews because employers are keenly interested in what you plan to do in the future. Include how your research interests fit into work others have done.
- The more you write about your research, the easier it will get. You will be revising and refining it for years. Remember, the statement is about your research, not about your character.
- Answer why this work must be done? Don’t feel you need to name specific agencies; talking about possible collaborations may be sufficient.
- Have your advisor read it. Committee members too.
- If this document makes the reader want to ask you further questions, even challenge you, it has done its job admirably, because it has helped make it seem that an interview with you would be lively and interesting. If you don’t write well, get help. If your plans sound simply like extensions of your dissertation, or if you use phrases like “We do this,” then you risk giving the impression that you view your plans as an extension of your advisor’s research and that you have not begun to think of yourself as an independent researcher
- For a longer version, begin with a summary or abstract.
- Another term you’ll hear – Research Proposal.
- Sometimes you will need to customize your statements. Research plans sent to predominantly undergraduate institutions should be carefully designed to coexist with substantial teaching loads and to benefit from the participation of undergraduate students.
- Note to myself: The only similarity I have seen between the academic and non-academic job searches (particularly for MechE's) is the job talk. Usually companies and organizations dictate the area(s) of research to a large degree. So, it is assumed that they would be interested in whatever area of research the company happens to be doing. Instead, they gauge ability to communicate, present information and research interest from the job talk.
