PhDs on the job market, how many of you are in relationships and how is that affecting your choices for where to apply (if at all)? It's an interesting comparison for me between last year and this year. Last year at this time, I was in a committed, long-term relationship that I expected would last (I had intentions of asking her to marry me). Because she was still in school, I was trying to remain flexible in where I applied, and the end result was that I probably didn't apply to as many posted positions as I could / should have. This year... well, the relationship ended, and ironically, I think it's been good for me in terms of career aspirations and preparation. In the last year I've submitted (and published) more manuscripts, my CV is looking considerably more competitive for the kinds of positions I'm looking for, and because I'm no longer worrying about someone else w/respect to location, I'm applying to any position that fits my research interests. I don't think I'd be doing any of that if I was in a relationship right now, and even though I miss the companionship, maybe this is the best thing at the moment. How many of you are having to deal with some aspect of this right now (or have in the past)? Any advice, for now or the future? | 2452426a4f982fc3b979319e8a45065ee7bd8d83347a5ef90f382db2dab4f4cc | [

Does getting a science PhD in Europe put me at a disadvantage for finding a position or post-doc in the USA? I am originally from the USA, but am now doing my PhD in Europe partly at a well-known research institution. I have heard conflicting reports and that some people don't look on the European PhD as equivalent because it is shorter, while others have said that there shouldn't be any fundamental difference between them. A PhD is a PhD. I came here thinking that I would just show my worth through my publications, but now I have started to worry about my future job prospects. Have any of you had to deal with this before? | a19e8256e6b1f3e44efd0e966d97c72bfd2a3dda2031ed4a0fb3b5bece6e2614 | [

Is it frowned upon to publish a deeper analysis of data? I worked on a past grad student's very nice dataset and did a deeper analysis of the data (it includes a spectral analysis instead of just temporal like the last student did). I want to publish it, but my advisor says even though it is a nice paper and a deeper analysis of the old dataset, journals usually won't accept a re-publication of data. Also, our research team commented a few times that "it needs to be clear why we are publishing a new paper on these data." Is it true that a new paper requires novel data collection? ​ My new analysis amplifies this dataset, so it's confusing why it couldn't be published. | 1de42f3a2c85faef7c8462e76ad89d48960c4577fc5f0e148674815348caecb8 | [

Is it frowned upon to publish a deeper analysis of data? I worked on a past grad student's very nice dataset and did a deeper analysis of the data (it includes a spectral analysis instead of just temporal like the last student did). I want to publish it, but my advisor says even though it is a nice paper and a deeper analysis of the old dataset, journals usually won't accept a re-publication of data. Also, our research team commented a few times that "it needs to be clear why we are publishing a new paper on these data." Is it true that a new paper requires novel data collection? ​ My new analysis amplifies this dataset, so it's confusing why it couldn't be published. | 1de42f3a2c85faef7c8462e76ad89d48960c4577fc5f0e148674815348caecb8 | [

Is it best to use "we" or "I" in the PhD thesis? I am close to being finished with my PhD thesis, but i have been struggling with this issue lately. My thesis is based on 4 manuscript of which there are multiple co-authors (with me being first author). In those, we use "we" to describe all our actions and thoughts. No problem. In my PhD thesis, my supervisor is encouraging me to use "I" instead of "we" in the discussion/conclusion. This feels very unnatural to me as all the findings are based on the results that "we" found in the manuscripts. This has led me to balance the use of we/I, where I use "I" whenever i describe something only I did (e.g. experiments). And "we" when referring to conclusions. However, i am a bit at loss about what to do. Any seasoned academics that can offer some advice? (My supervisor is out of office, hence why i post the question here and not to my supervisor directly) | dfa6f5e7dbd08b2c33b30854b8bfe5f12b8743548214c3b0ee152c44be6de433 | [

Have I made a big mistake by not applying to a PhD at 26 (it keeps me up at night)? **Abstract**: *I am 26, finishing a master's degree, and I have no plans now and have never considered a phd. My professors and colleagues say i'm ideal, my parents are against it, all deadlines have passed, and I have an existential crisis now.* I am about to finish my 2 year master's in International Relations at the age of 26 (in my country we graduate at 19 and I did a year of travel). It was such a big deal to me to even get into this program, because I originally have a B.Sc. in psychology and I'm the first one in my direct family line to even see a college from the inside anyhow. The hybris I accused myself of to even attempt a master's! I was so nervous whether I'd even survive the IR program that I spent exactly no time thinking about any further degrees afterwards. Now that the end approaches, professors and my friends at grad school keep asking me why I don't do a PhD. One senior professor even approached me in a pub and said I was an ideal candidate, as I love academic discussions and research. My GPA is good and my supervisor really liked my master's thesis. But I was so focused to even survive the past two years, driven by constant impostor syndrome, that I never spent a second thinking I'd do anything else but "a job" afterwards, however vaguely defined. I made no plans for later at all. My professors' and colleagues' comments have seriously thrown me in doubt whether I didn't do a huge mistake. My parents (both worked themselves up from poor backgrounds, without a college degree) painted an image of PhD studies as a dead-end into poverty and unemployability with short-term contracts only, so I never really considered it. Obviously all deadlines have passed now by a long shot, and as all my friends move on to jobs (mostly non-related office jobs). I wonder if I didn't make a huge mistake by not applying, and whether that window of opportunity isn't closed now for good... or whether I made the right call. | ffb38f537a2a5bbb7214d5b1ee28c18f405e2bdf1c9335caf11a59886aab3b58 | [

Have I made a big mistake by not applying to a PhD at 26 (it keeps me up at night)? **Abstract**: *I am 26, finishing a master's degree, and I have no plans now and have never considered a phd. My professors and colleagues say i'm ideal, my parents are against it, all deadlines have passed, and I have an existential crisis now.* I am about to finish my 2 year master's in International Relations at the age of 26 (in my country we graduate at 19 and I did a year of travel). It was such a big deal to me to even get into this program, because I originally have a B.Sc. in psychology and I'm the first one in my direct family line to even see a college from the inside anyhow. The hybris I accused myself of to even attempt a master's! I was so nervous whether I'd even survive the IR program that I spent exactly no time thinking about any further degrees afterwards. Now that the end approaches, professors and my friends at grad school keep asking me why I don't do a PhD. One senior professor even approached me in a pub and said I was an ideal candidate, as I love academic discussions and research. My GPA is good and my supervisor really liked my master's thesis. But I was so focused to even survive the past two years, driven by constant impostor syndrome, that I never spent a second thinking I'd do anything else but "a job" afterwards, however vaguely defined. I made no plans for later at all. My professors' and colleagues' comments have seriously thrown me in doubt whether I didn't do a huge mistake. My parents (both worked themselves up from poor backgrounds, without a college degree) painted an image of PhD studies as a dead-end into poverty and unemployability with short-term contracts only, so I never really considered it. Obviously all deadlines have passed now by a long shot, and as all my friends move on to jobs (mostly non-related office jobs). I wonder if I didn't make a huge mistake by not applying, and whether that window of opportunity isn't closed now for good... or whether I made the right call. | ffb38f537a2a5bbb7214d5b1ee28c18f405e2bdf1c9335caf11a59886aab3b58 | [

Have I made a big mistake by not applying to a PhD at 26 (it keeps me up at night)? **Abstract**: *I am 26, finishing a master's degree, and I have no plans now and have never considered a phd. My professors and colleagues say i'm ideal, my parents are against it, all deadlines have passed, and I have an existential crisis now.* I am about to finish my 2 year master's in International Relations at the age of 26 (in my country we graduate at 19 and I did a year of travel). It was such a big deal to me to even get into this program, because I originally have a B.Sc. in psychology and I'm the first one in my direct family line to even see a college from the inside anyhow. The hybris I accused myself of to even attempt a master's! I was so nervous whether I'd even survive the IR program that I spent exactly no time thinking about any further degrees afterwards. Now that the end approaches, professors and my friends at grad school keep asking me why I don't do a PhD. One senior professor even approached me in a pub and said I was an ideal candidate, as I love academic discussions and research. My GPA is good and my supervisor really liked my master's thesis. But I was so focused to even survive the past two years, driven by constant impostor syndrome, that I never spent a second thinking I'd do anything else but "a job" afterwards, however vaguely defined. I made no plans for later at all. My professors' and colleagues' comments have seriously thrown me in doubt whether I didn't do a huge mistake.

Have I made a big mistake by not applying to a PhD at 26 (it keeps me up at night)? **Abstract**: *I am 26, finishing a master's degree, and I have no plans now and have never considered a phd. My professors and colleagues say i'm ideal, my parents are against it, all deadlines have passed, and I have an existential crisis now.* I am about to finish my 2 year master's in International Relations at the age of 26 (in my country we graduate at 19 and I did a year of travel). It was such a big deal to me to even get into this program, because I originally have a B.Sc. in psychology and I'm the first one in my direct family line to even see a college from the inside anyhow. The hybris I accused myself of to even attempt a master's! I was so nervous whether I'd even survive the IR program that I spent exactly no time thinking about any further degrees afterwards. Now that the end approaches, professors and my friends at grad school keep asking me why I don't do a PhD. One senior professor even approached me in a pub and said I was an ideal candidate, as I love academic discussions and research. My GPA is good and my supervisor really liked my master's thesis. But I was so focused to even survive the past two years, driven by constant impostor syndrome, that I never spent a second thinking I'd do anything else but "a job" afterwards, however vaguely defined. I made no plans for later at all. My professors' and colleagues' comments have seriously thrown me in doubt whether I didn't do a huge mistake. My parents (both worked themselves up from poor backgrounds, without a college degree) painted an image of PhD studies as a dead-end into poverty and unemployability with short-term contracts only, so I never really considered it. Obviously all deadlines have passed now by a long shot, and as all my friends move on to jobs (mostly non-related office jobs). I wonder if I didn't make a huge mistake by not applying, and whether that window of opportunity isn't closed now for good... or whether I made the right call. | ffb38f537a2a5bbb7214d5b1ee28c18f405e2bdf1c9335caf11a59886aab3b58 | [

Have I made a big mistake by not applying to a PhD at 26 (it keeps me up at night)? **Abstract**: *I am 26, finishing a master's degree, and I have no plans now and have never considered a phd. My professors and colleagues say i'm ideal, my parents are against it, all deadlines have passed, and I have an existential crisis now.* I am about to finish my 2 year master's in International Relations at the age of 26 (in my country we graduate at 19 and I did a year of travel). It was such a big deal to me to even get into this program, because I originally have a B.Sc. in psychology and I'm the first one in my direct family line to even see a college from the inside anyhow. The hybris I accused myself of to even attempt a master's! I was so nervous whether I'd even survive the IR program that I spent exactly no time thinking about any further degrees afterwards. Now that the end approaches, professors and my friends at grad school keep asking me why I don't do a PhD. One senior professor even approached me in a pub and said I was an ideal candidate, as I love academic discussions and research. My GPA is good and my supervisor really liked my master's thesis. But I was so focused to even survive the past two years, driven by constant impostor syndrome, that I never spent a second thinking I'd do anything else but "a job" afterwards, however vaguely defined. I made no plans for later at all. My professors' and colleagues' comments have seriously thrown me in doubt whether I didn't do a huge mistake. My parents (both worked themselves up from poor backgrounds, without a college degree) painted an image of PhD studies as a dead-end into poverty and unemployability with short-term contracts only, so I never really considered it. Obviously all deadlines have passed now by a long shot, and as all my friends move on to jobs (mostly non-related office jobs). I wonder if I didn't make a huge mistake by not applying, and whether that window of opportunity isn't closed now for good... or whether I made the right call. | ffb38f537a2a5bbb7214d5b1ee28c18f405e2bdf1c9335caf11a59886aab3b58 | [

Have I made a big mistake by not applying to a PhD at 26 (it keeps me up at night)? **Abstract**: *I am 26, finishing a master's degree, and I have no plans now and have never considered a phd. My professors and colleagues say i'm ideal, my parents are against it, all deadlines have passed, and I have an existential crisis now.* I am about to finish my 2 year master's in International Relations at the age of 26 (in my country we graduate at 19 and I did a year of travel). It was such a big deal to me to even get into this program, because I originally have a B.Sc. in psychology and I'm the first one in my direct family line to even see a college from the inside anyhow. The hybris I accused myself of to even attempt a master's! I was so nervous whether I'd even survive the IR program that I spent exactly no time thinking about any further degrees afterwards. Now that the end approaches, professors and my friends at grad school keep asking me why I don't do a PhD. One senior professor even approached me in a pub and said I was an ideal candidate, as I love academic discussions and research. My GPA is good and my supervisor really liked my master's thesis. But I was so focused to even survive the past two years, driven by constant impostor syndrome, that I never spent a second thinking I'd do anything else but "a job" afterwards, however vaguely defined. I made no plans for later at all. My professors' and colleagues' comments have seriously thrown me in doubt whether I didn't do a huge mistake. My parents (both worked themselves up from poor backgrounds, without a college degree) painted an image of PhD studies as a dead-end into poverty and unemployability with short-term contracts only, so I never really considered it. Obviously all deadlines have passed now by a long shot, and as all my friends move on to jobs (mostly non-related office jobs). I wonder if I didn't make a huge mistake by not applying, and whether that window of opportunity isn't closed now for good... or whether I made the right call. | ffb38f537a2a5bbb7214d5b1ee28c18f405e2bdf1c9335caf11a59886aab3b58 | [

Have I made a big mistake by not applying to a PhD at 26 (it keeps me up at night)? **Abstract**: *I am 26, finishing a master's degree, and I have no plans now and have never considered a phd. My professors and colleagues say i'm ideal, my parents are against it, all deadlines have passed, and I have an existential crisis now.* I am about to finish my 2 year master's in International Relations at the age of 26 (in my country we graduate at 19 and I did a year of travel). It was such a big deal to me to even get into this program, because I originally have a B.Sc. in psychology and I'm the first one in my direct family line to even see a college from the inside anyhow. The hybris I accused myself of to even attempt a master's! I was so nervous whether I'd even survive the IR program that I spent exactly no time thinking about any further degrees afterwards. Now that the end approaches, professors and my friends at grad school keep asking me why I don't do a PhD. One senior professor even approached me in a pub and said I was an ideal candidate, as I love academic discussions and research. My GPA is good and my supervisor really liked my master's thesis. But I was so focused to even survive the past two years, driven by constant impostor syndrome, that I never spent a second thinking I'd do anything else but "a job" afterwards, however vaguely defined. I made no plans for later at all. My professors' and colleagues' comments have seriously thrown me in doubt whether I didn't do a huge mistake. My parents (both worked themselves up from poor backgrounds, without a college degree) painted an image of PhD studies as a dead-end into poverty and unemployability with short-term contracts only, so I never really considered it. Obviously all deadlines have passed now by a long shot, and as all my friends move on to jobs (mostly non-related office jobs). I wonder if I didn't make a huge mistake by not applying, and whether that window of opportunity isn't closed now for good... or whether I made the right call. | ffb38f537a2a5bbb7214d5b1ee28c18f405e2bdf1c9335caf11a59886aab3b58 | [
