What’s in a name? Or a job title?
Hybrid research/professional job titles are another sign that research-adjacent professionals are falling through the cracks
Invisible and undervalued
It’s no wonder research-adjacent professionals feel undervalued. In too many spaces our work is completely invisible.
How a research-adjacent career chose me
Do many people consciously choose a research-adjacent career? I certainly didn’t. Well, not at first anyway.
What is Research Adjacent?
Research Adjacent is a podcast that shines a light on the research-adjacent people, processes, and skills that go into making research successful. I’m talking about public engagement, knowledge exchange, outreach, project management, research communications, publishing, funding, events, presenting, collaboration, facilitation, and the rest.
Too often, all we hear about are the researchers and the research outputs. Well, not here! In the podcast Sarah McLusky talks to amazing research-adjacent professionals about what they do and why it makes a difference. Tune in to find out why we think the research-adjacent space is where the real magic happens.
