Applying for a faculty position? Then you will need to prepare a research statement. Hope this video helps you write yours! If you have some additional points, please let me know in the comments! :)
Thank you so much for this video, it's very conscience! What would you recommend to say if your an international scholar and funding agencies usually just fund citizens? I have a couple of ideas in mind but these are more oriented to postdoctoral international students (I'm in the US and my field is history).
Glad you liked it. I don't know of any funding agencies that just fund citizens of the host country. Also in the US. I worked there as a prof for 9 years getting funding and I was not a citizen there.
@@mrillig Maybe in the humanities the options are more limited. There are, for sure, but for what I do I have only found two that maybe could fund my project. Thanks!
A huge thanks for all of the great videos. I'm getting tons of help on every step of the job searching process. I have one question. I've recently been asked to present a lifelong plan. Any tips you might have on this professor? Would it be something close to a final goal of mine, as a researcher?
Thanks! Never heard of a life-long plan; but yes, I guess this would be like a long-term goal of your research. These are typically things like "better understanding of xyz", and then the challenge would be to chart a course of how this might be achieved. More typically, people ask for a 5-year plan. I would also include this in your presentation, the immediate things you plan to do, and how they relate to your long-term goals.
No, a research statement is what you include as part of your application package for a faculty position, and a research proposal is something your write in order to get funding. Your research statement can include research proposals you would like to write in the future.
