Если вы старше постдока

НАСТОЯЩИЙ МАТЕРИАЛ (ИНФОРМАЦИЯ) ПРОИЗВЕДЕН, РАСПРОСТРАНЕН И (ИЛИ) НАПРАВЛЕН ИНОСТРАННЫМ АГЕНТОМ АЛЕКСАНДРОЙ СЕРГЕЕВНОЙ АРХИПОВОЙ, СОДЕРЖАЩЕЙСЯ В РЕЕСТРЕ ИНОСТРАННЫХ АГЕНТОВ ЛИБО КАСАЕТСЯ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ ИНОСТРАННОГО АГЕНТА АЛЕКСАНДРЫ СЕРГЕЕВНЫ АРХИПОВОЙ, СОДЕРЖАЩЕЙСЯ В РЕЕСТРЕ ИНОСТРАННЫХ АГЕНТОВ 18+

В научной и преподавательской деятельности есть известная проблема: чем выше ты поднимаешься, тем меньше позиций, стипендий и возможностей. Если ты хочешь уехать из России и Беларуси и при этом ты аспирант или молодой постдок (то есть только защитился), то на академическом рынке полно вкусных предложений. А вот если тебе плюс-минус 40, диссер написан, скажем, 12 лет назад, вот тут начинаются проблемы - таких мест просто меньше.

Вдруг вы не знаете. Академическая юность - это когда ты еще получаешь постдоки. Их можно получать несколько, но все отграничивается временем защиты диссертации. Часики-то тикают. В разных странах по разному, где-то это 3-4 года после защиты диссера, где-то до 10 лет после защиты. Причем ситуация усугубляется тем, что в РФ обычно заставляют быстро защититься (и это плюс-минус 25 лет), чтобы потом преподавать, а, например, в США многие растягивают специально время написания диссертации (потому что потом придется выходить на рынок, а это сложно), да и вообще писать диссер 5-7 лет - это норма.

И получается, что вот, например, я, защитивши диссер в 26 лет, оказываюсь в эмиграции и через более чем 10 лет после защиты не могу получать больше постдоки.

ЧТО ДЕЛАТЬ?

Друзья сделали невероятно полезную штуку. Канал «Паганель», где публикуют вакансии для опытных преподавателей/исследователей в социальных и гуманитарных сферах, которые уже старше постдока.

Нам — всем тем, ~~кто уже пыльная вчерашка~~ вечно юны, нам сюда! Подписывайтесь.

Дорогие читатели, а знаете ли вы, что на озере Базалети (это 40 км от Тбилиси) в конце августа будет проходить летняя школа Bazaleti Uni и она посвящена много чему, но мне нравится определение «интеллектуальные стереотипы» - какие ловушки появляются в нашем сознании, когда мы с умным видом анализируем действительность.

Набор до 1 августа, участие в школе бесплатно. Читать там будет много хороших людей, в том числе замечательный историк литературы Андрей Зорин (я горжусь тем, что я у него училась) и биолог и научный журналист Ася Казанцева.
