Mary Neuburger

Slavic, Baltic And Albanian Languages, Literatures, And Linguistics

What general advice would you give to a Research Assistant?

Mary Neuburger: Network as much as possible, online (LinkedIn or social media) and at events related to Russian studies or policy. These tend to be open to the public at most large er universities and some smaller. Attend, ask good questions, and introduce yourself to people. Make sure you highlight all of the skills you have gained on your CV-include projects in courses, extracurricular activities, study abroad etc.

What Research Assistant skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?

Mary Neuburger: Language skills are always important, as well as research skills, and experience working on team projects. I also think deep interdisciplinary knowledge of Russia and its sphere of influence will continue to be important, as well as teachnical skills and knowledge of the information environment-and especially disinformation. UT Austin has a new Global Disinformation Lab, in which study of Russian disinformation (among other things) is carried out.

What will help Research Assistants increase their earning potential?

Mary Neuburger: Increase your experience and education in the field. Think about a Russian Studies master's program, for which you can get funding and gain more education and professional experience. UT Austin is looking for good applicants! Also think about doing workshops in various technical skills or platforms to bolster your resume. Think about initiating a club, small organization or project, and taking a leadership role. Highlight these efforts on your cv.

Autumn Mathias Ph.D., LCSW

Autumn Mathias Ph.D., LCSW: Similar to my answer for the first question, I think that this begins during college as students build their overall portfolio of knowledge and skills. In addition to strategically selecting courses, students might think about different volunteer activities (both on and off campus) and experiential learning opportunities that could help them to further develop skills and build professional connections. For instance, students can ask professors if there are opportunities for them to work as a research assistant, or develop their own independent research project. In addition, students can complete internships with public or private organizations within community, or even through study abroad programs. In some cases, internships can provide a bridge to employment post-graduation in that organization. After students graduate and secure employment, they might consider different ways to engage in professional development and continuing education. This can occur both within and outside employer-sponsored activities. For instance, graduates might consider online courses on software such as Excel, ArcGIS, Python, Tableau, or R. In addition, graduates may think of creative ways to take leadership on projects in their respective organizations, and/or make a significant contribution to their organization that will showcase their professional strengths. Finally, graduates may consider pursuing graduate degrees according to their professional goals, such as a Master of Social Work (MSW), Master of Public Health (MPH), Juris Doctor (JD), Master's in Education (M.Ed.), or a Master of Public Administration (MPA).

Autumn Mathias Ph.D., LCSW: My general advice for undergraduate students majoring in sociology would be to begin thinking (as early as possible) about how studying sociology might prepare you for different careers. Explore resources online, including the websites of professional organizations such as the American Sociological Association and the Society for the Study of Social Problems, and occupational outlook data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, I would advise students to speak with their academic advisors, professors, and their college/university career services personnel about their specific interests, strengths, and opportunities to further develop various transferable skills throughout (and beyond) their college career. For some students, this may mean taking certain electives (such as those geared towards maximizing research skills), and/or adding a minor or a second major. This can also include internships and other experiential learning opportunities. In addition, students should think about which subfields of sociology interest them most, and how they see themselves applying their knowledge in a specific field. Some subfields include urban sociology, medical sociology, political sociology, global and transnational sociology, law and crime, social inequality, collective behavior, economic sociology, environmental sociology, and the sociology of education. Sociology students develop knowledge and skills that are valuable to several fields, including education, legal assistance, business, public relations, human services/social work, government, public health, urban planning, criminal justice, market and/or user experience research, and administration. Sociology students learn to apply a historically and theoretically grounded lens to understanding human behavior, social institutions, and the interactions between various actors in society across national and cultural contexts. In addition, they develop both qualitative and quantitative research skills and are uniquely positioned to apply these skills in a variety of roles to find solutions to social problems. Accordingly, they are encouraged to develop both cultural humility and cultural competence, which is critical for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in any professional setting. As a result, sociology graduates may pursue jobs including (but not limited to) the following: research assistant at a non-profit organization, probation officer, community health worker, residential counselor, case manager, legislative aide, policy analyst, and user experience researcher for a corporation. In terms of job searching, I would recommend consulting with professors, advisors, and your college/university's career services office on the best strategies for highlighting your transferable skills and tailoring your resume and cover letter to specific job postings. Many organizations utilize AI to review and narrow down job application materials before they are even reviewed by human eyes. Also, I would encourage graduates to keep an open mind as they search job postings as their knowledge and skills can be applied in a variety of settings. Additionally, students may think about whether or not their long-term career goals require a graduate degree. Some employers offer tuition reimbursement for graduate education.

Autumn Mathias Ph.D., LCSW: I think it is important for graduates to look at projections on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website and to conduct general research on the state of certain industries at the time of graduation. For instance, the tech industry is currently very saturated; some people who started positions as user experience researchers just a few years ago were laid off. Individuals who have years of experience in these positions will then have an advantage in securing new positions. That being said, I believe that quantitative research skills in particular are advantageous for many positions. This includes attaining coding skills and learning coding languages such as Python, R, and Java. In addition to the tech industry, the higher education market for individuals with a Master's degree or PhD in sociology for tenure-track, full-time assistant professor positions in sociology proves to remain highly competitive, as there are far more graduates than full-time positions. That being said, some Master's programs emphasize an applied focus that prepares students for a variety of research and evaluation positions. In relation to research skills focused on data collection and analysis, sociology majors develop writing and presentation skills that are crucial to success in any field. Also, the major's emphasis on a critical global perspective along with cultural humility, cultural competence, empathy, and overall interpersonal skills are sought-after skills in many fields. For instance, the U.S. is experiencing a serious shortage of mental health professionals. Although some mental health positions require a bachelor's or Master's degree in social work, others are also open to individuals with a bachelor's degree in sociology or psychology.

Alessandra Bryant PhD, LMFT

Human Development, Family Studies, And Related Services

Alessandra Bryant PhD, LMFT: -Human development is an interdisciplinary major with multiple avenues to pursue post-bachelor's degree. You really need to pursue a master's degree post bachelor's to ensure job security post-grad. Have an idea in mind of what you'd like to pursue-whether it be education or mental health.

Alessandra Bryant PhD, LMFT: -Research proficiency-get involved in undergrad if you can. As the field progresses, we need innovative thinkers to keep advancing our knowledge.

Alessandra Bryant PhD, LMFT: -Pursue a master's degree in a more specific human development related field. Do your research-look for reputable programs in areas with earning potential post-grad.

Phillis Sheppard Ph.D.

Theological And Ministerial Studies

Phillis Sheppard Ph.D.: I tell recent graduates to read the contract and the faculty manual. Make sure you understand the long term implications of your early salary. Second, plan for retirement now; do not wait until you are making the salary of your fantasies. Take advantage of opportunities to learn about financial health and management. Third, position yourself. Write and publish directly and clearly in your field of study and adjacent areas. Fourth, create a plan with vision for the career you think you want. Finally, one way or the other, you will carve out a career or job, but a vocation is nurtured by paying attention to where you experience passion and a deep sense of belonging. A vocation is where your heart and intellect find a meaningful place in responding to the world's needs. Your salary best positions you when it supports your whole life and commitments.

Phillis Sheppard Ph.D.: I think it can be easy to immerse oneself in a specific area of study and become well informed, but isolated. I encourage graduate students to also expose themselves to the many co-curricular learning opportunities and intellectual ideas that will stretch and deepen their approach. Many of us have been taught to interrogate ideas that differ from our own. Graduate studies invite and require us to interrogate our own ideas and convictions too.

Dr. Lindsey Harvell-Bowman

School of Communication Studies

What hard/technical skills are most important for Research Assistants?

Dr. Lindsey Harvell-Bowman: Research assistants in our lab must have strong statistical skills and presentational skills. Specifically, the ability to manage SPSS.

School of Law

What skills stand out on Research Assistant resumes?

Jan Levine: Formal recognition from one or both of the two major leading research companies, Westlaw and Lexis, is usually helpful, but pluses would also be listing experience doing research and applying it for a law review article or upper-level course paper, as a research assistant for a faculty member, or for a judge or law firm during an externship/internship or summer job.

What soft skills should all Research Assistants possess?

Jan Levine: While research skills are important, conveying what was found is even more important. Legal research is not conducted in isolation as an experiment in the bibliography; what matters is using what's found to solve a legal problem. So that means demonstrating the application of the fruits of research in a written document, such as an office memorandum, appellate brief, law review article, or another professional setting or context.

Jan Levine: Understanding how to plan a research effort, knowing how to update research, so it is timely, finding materials online and in print (which is often ignored or downplayed), demonstrating a critical examination of sources (i.e., reading them closely and coming up with an independent professional assessment of the reliability and validity of the materials), and knowing to find and use non-legal sources of information to apply to a legal problem (including talking with experts, going beyond online and print research). Plus, good researchers know how to use librarians and secondary sources of the law to expand the scope of their work and to be more efficient in their research (both in time and cost). Finally, the ability to organize material is crucial to a well-conducted search for material.

What skills will help Research Assistants earn the most?

Jan Levine: Efficiency in research, clarity in explanation of the use of researched materials, and having a conscious plan of how to conduct research.

Mario Jimenez Chacon

Humanities Department

Mario Jimenez Chacon: The skills that stand out the most demonstrate that the candidate knows how to do independent, sustained, and relevant research. For example, having received some type of grant stands out because it shows that the researcher can formulate their ideas clearly in writing and that the ideas are relevant for their field of research. Also, a candidate who can engage in interdisciplinary research stands out; having the ability to have a conversation with multiple disciplines is an indispensable quality to have as a researcher in our times.

Mario Jimenez Chacon: Interpersonal skills, work ethic, the ability to work in teams, flexibility, and communication skills are all fundamental soft skills. Researchers are also humans and work with humans, so it's essential to have these soft skills to create a welcoming research community.

Mario Jimenez Chacon: Of course, a researcher needs to have the ability to perform high-level, intense research; therefore, a qualified researcher needs to have the hard skills associated with their field, for example, the appropriate certification/ degrees or the ability to use technology effectively. Moreover, nowadays, a researcher needs to dominate more than one language; being multilingual is a skill that makes the candidate really stand out.

Mario Jimenez Chacon: The skills that will make you earn the most depend very much on their field of research. However, doing the best research possible all the time, having great interpersonal skills, and understanding that one must never stop learning will make you an outstanding candidate in any field.

Rattaphon Wuthisatia Ph.D.

School of Business

Rattaphon Wuthisatia Ph.D.: Quantitative skills - particularly the ability to analyze data using statistical methods and software packages - are in high demand in the economics job market. There is evidence that quantitative skills are the most difficult-to-recruit skills for many organizations, and people who have these skills are in short supply. Thus, it is important for economics graduates to build and demonstrate their quantitative skills, as these skills can help increase their marketability and differentiate themselves in today's competitive job market.

Rattaphon Wuthisatia Ph.D.: As highlighted earlier, prospective employers in the economics job market always search for an economist who can conduct research for their organizations. To succeed in the job market and land a decent job, economics graduates need to possess a great combination of technical and soft skills necessary for research, such as quantitative skills, analytical skills, critical-thinking skills, communication skills, presentation skills, and the ability to simplify.

Dr. Sharon Locke Ph.D.

Department of Environmental Sciences

Dr. Sharon Locke Ph.D.: Quantitative literacy skills stand out. Environmental science students who have not shied away from taking courses requiring math and computational skills indicate a student is willing to persist in a challenging area. This might be demonstrated by using statistical software such as R and Python or working with large databases.

Dr. Sharon Locke Ph.D.: -Strong written and oral communication are most important. If you cannot write well, you cannot be a successful scientist. Period. -Evidence of skills in working as part of a team of diverse people and ability to understand the culture and language across scientific/technical disciplines--for example, an environmental chemist who understands something about policy or an environmental health specialist that would be able to collect and interpret data collected from community members. -Willingness to be a lifelong learner. -Something that helps an applicant stand out, such as experience with project management software or a foreign language.

Dr. Sharon Locke Ph.D.: -How to use and calibrate field equipment such as water sampling or water quality measurement. -How to design a research study/experimental design. -GIS skills -Environmental statistics skills -Knowledge of lab and field safety protocols -Something that helps an applicant to stand out, such as drone pilot certification.

Dr. Sharon Locke Ph.D.: Quantitative skills such as statistics, computer programming, and GIS.

Dr. Jeffrey Hughes

Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Studies

Dr. Jeffrey Hughes: Evidence of working between and across disciplinary boundaries. Evidence of new and innovative research premised on multiple disciplines. Evidence of synergies developed from combining one or more research disciplines.

Dr. Jeffrey Hughes: The ability to communicate to academics and practitioners from out-with immediate disciplinary boundaries. The ability to listen to differing perspectives and work to understand differing perspectives through bridging knowledge gaps.

Dr. Jeffrey Hughes: This would be dependent upon the disciplines involved and would be hugely varied.

Dr. Jeffrey Hughes: I would suggest that cultivating the above skills would result in increased earning potential.

Harriet Phinney Ph.D.

Department of Anthropology and Sociology

Harriet Phinney Ph.D.: Understanding human diversity, Difference is viewed not as an obstacle but as an opportunity for generating new ideas, etc.

Harriet Phinney Ph.D.: Understanding human diversity, effective communication (speaking and writing: the ability to convey complex ideas respectfully to a diverse audience) across differences, adept at working in groups, yet also independent thinkers.

Harriet Phinney Ph.D.: Empirical data collection: Research skills for collecting original data, analyzing the data, writing up the information collected, and presenting it in a professional manner.

Harriet Phinney Ph.D.: Anthropologists are analysts and researchers with sharp thinking skills who have the ability to collect, manage, evaluate, and interpret large volumes of data on human behavior.

Alexandra (Sasha) Ormond Ph.D.

Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Geoscience

Alexandra (Sasha) Ormond Ph.D.: When I help students revise their resumes, I have them focus on transferable skills that they gained through their experiences. It may not necessarily be what students do that is important to companies, but their learned experience that students can take and apply in their new job. Students need to add a metric to their descriptions and how they have made an impact on a project, a job position, an organization, etc.

Lea Theodore Ph.D.

School Psychology and Institute for Parenting and Postgraduate Certificates in Infant, Child, & Adolescent Psychotherapy

Lea Theodore Ph.D.: Skills and experiences that show responsibility, organization, and specific aptitude for the project at hand. A successful resume emphasizes the ways the candidate's learning and experience meet the stated job requirements.

Lea Theodore Ph.D.: The ability to have respectful communication with people in all roles: directors, supervisors, research participants, peers, and project staff. A 360-degree evaluation would show that everyone agrees that the candidate can be a good fit.

Lea Theodore Ph.D.: Statistical knowledge, assessment skills, knowledge of statistical software (SPSS)

Dr. David LoConto Ph.D.

Department of Sociology

Dr. David LoConto Ph.D.: These days in the job market, the abilities, as mentioned previously, to understand human behavior, contextualize events, and frame what is occurring. The problems that STEM students have now are designing products for humans but do not have that training. Our students are trained to understand humans at the state, institutional, organizational, group, and individual levels in sociology. This allows our students to find jobs if they desire to gain employment in STEM fields and data analytics in general.

Dr. David LoConto Ph.D.: Typically, especially now, would be proficiency in statistical analyses-specifically carried out in SPSS or R. Students also can develop a survey instrument and interview schedules. They can orchestrate several methodologies, including participant observation, historical analyses, focus groups, and a host of other skills. And they can understand human behavior to contextualize events and frame what is occurring.

Dr. David LoConto Ph.D.: Increasingly, we see that the hard skills, due to technology changing so fast, become antiquated quickly. Employees must be retrained yearly or every other year. Therefore, the hard skills have lost some value. We provide our students the opportunity to learn not only statistical packages like SPSS and R, but they have the opportunity to do computational research, textual analysis, and data visualization. This provides our students the opportunity to learn skills they can apply to STEM fields, but our students have the bonus of understanding human behavior. Something that in the workforce is rarely taught.

Dr. David LoConto Ph.D.: The hard skills at this point provide the most earning potential, but we are finding now that the soft skills that are learned in the social sciences, specifically here, Sociology, provide an avenue that has higher earning potential.

Malcolm Forbes Ph.D.

Chemistry Department and Center for Photochemical Sciences

Malcolm Forbes Ph.D.: Presentation skills are key - staying up to date on new technologies will be very important (for example, there is now a way to insert yourself into a pptx file and point to things on the slide). Also multiple cameras so you can change perspectives is changing how people give talks. Writing skills are also important, but in industry "less is more" so these skills must be developed to make conciseness a priority. No one reads long emails any more, so clear, short, to the point writing is essential. Attention to diversity and inclusion will grow - finding internal biases that may or may not be intentional, and how to eliminate or minimize their impact, will also be important.

What are the biggest trends we'll see in the Research Assistant job market given the pandemic?

Malcolm Forbes Ph.D.: Work from home will become much more normal for many people. Perhaps not 100%, but maybe 2-3 days per week. Chemists with intense lab activities might not get as much of this privilege as others. WFH will make it easier for women with families to be hired. Companies and managers will be more tuned in to employees' mental health.

Dr. Monica Frazier

Biology Department

Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Research Assistants?

Dr. Monica Frazier: I would hope that it would not be enduring. However, I do realize there may be immediate impacts. Students who did not start their research until maybe the second semester of their junior year are impacted by not getting any time to participate in hands on research experiences. Not having that experience means they miss out on an opportunity to learn laboratory skills needed for certain jobs. In addition, this also impacts student one-on-one interactions with faculty which prevents faculty from really getting to know the student in a way that will inhibit the faculty from providing the employer with a more comprehensive review of the student's ability, work ethic, etc.

What certifications/licenses/courses can have the biggest impact for Research Assistants?

Dr. Monica Frazier: Depends on the job.

Dr. Monica Frazier: Unfortunately, there are not a lot of certifications available in this area on the undergraduate side. So for those people, I would say they need to get hands-on research experience, to attend and present their research at conferences and, if possible, get a publication. Having these experiences out of college will help a student increase their earning potential.

Gabriel Loiacono

History Department

What's a good job out of college for Research Assistants?

Gabriel Loiacono: I would say that a good job out of college is an entry-level start to a career you are really curious about. Try it. It could be the start of something interesting. If you hate it, that is really good to know too. You can cross it off your list and try something else.

Gabriel Loiacono: I would say this: history majors go on to a wide variety of good jobs. Historians use their research, writing, communication, and critical reading strengths in careers from insurance to law to you name it. To help with earning potential, strengthen these skills in college, but also branch out and add others: another language, whether it is C++ or Spanish, perhaps a mapping or public administration class. Then you can point to all these skills when you are looking for a good fit for you.

Sharon Deem DVM, PhD

Institute for Conservation Medicine

Sharon Deem DVM, PhD: I teach a course called One Health: Linking the Health of Humans, Animals, and Environments. I teach to both undergraduate and graduate students. One Health is a growing movement that takes a transdisciplinary approach and is based on the understanding that the health of human and non-human animals, plants, and the environments that sustain all life are interconnected. We will not have health of one without ensuring health of the others. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a wake-up call of this interconnection of health and to the many human public health, including zoonotic infectious diseases such as SARS-CoV-2, and wildlife conservation challenges, such as those related to the unsustainable trade in wildlife. A wakeup call that has made many aware of the need for a One Health approach and for finding a new normal post-pandemic world that will help ensure we prevent the next pandemic. The outlook for recent graduates that are interested in the One Health approach and for addressing these health challenges for humans, animals, and environments-the One Health Triad-will increase in the coming years. I believe career opportunities that strive for preventive measures that lessen the negative impacts of climate change, emerging infectious diseases, and the loss of biodiversity will increase greatly in the coming months and years. These career opportunities may be in the environmental, veterinary, and human health sciences. They may also be in other disciplines, from communication and art to IT, engineering, law, and political science. The job market will open with positions we may only dream of today, but also with those familiar jobs that help optimize the health of animals, humans, and environments.

How have salaries changed over time for Research Assistants?

Sharon Deem DVM, PhD: My field of One Health is so varied, as are the salaries. You may have a career as an infectious disease specialist, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, a position in a state public health agency, work for a zoological park, or be a forester. The list of careers within One Health are as varied as the range of the salaries people may receive. As a wildlife veterinarian and epidemiologist, I think salaries have not changed significantly, albeit keeping up with inflation, over the past couple of decades.

Margit Burmeister Ph.D.

Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics and Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience Institute

Margit Burmeister Ph.D.: Bioinformaticians' salaries are higher than typical molecular biologists and can reach as high as computer scientists, hence salaries straight out of PhD can differ by more than a factor of 4. It is hard to give a trend over time because it so depends on the field one enters.

Margit Burmeister Ph.D.: With everything going online, bioinformaticians have a big advantage over biologists working in wet labs that may be operating at reduced capacity. But on the other hand, in many companies and Universities, employees willing to come in and work in person also have advantages. Overall, those who can pivot rapidly - work in person in wet lab if open and required, but able to work for several weeks analytically only, have the best chances. However, academic positions are frozen at many Universities, so those who are in postdoc positions hoping for faculty positions can't move on. Worldwide the biggest trend is women dropping out.
