An interview with David Ferguson, Associate Provost for Diversity and Inclusion, is featured on a blog associated with Thomson Reuters’ bibliographical software EndNote.
In a post entitled “Five things to do before you graduate to get the most out of your job search,” Reuters blogger Sarah Tanksalvala summarizes Ferguson’s advice to job-seekers in the field: “Aspiring researchers must understand trends in the industry and work to take advantage of those trends, positioning themselves not only as subject experts, but as people who will provide value to the academic and research community in the long term.”
“Anyone looking to go into research now needs to think about some broad ways in which research is changing,” said David Ferguson, who is Distinguished Service Professor and chair of the Technology and Society Department at Stony Brook University.
