Assignment 

Investigating the Career of an Academic or Advanced Researcher

For this week’s research paper, let’s start using your logistical skills in the South University Online Library. Look for practitioner-oriented publications that discuss the career of an academic or advanced researcher. The Chronicle of Higher Education and the Harvard Business Review are good places to start but cast a wide net across business disciplines.

Tasks:

  • This assignment is different from normal; do not use peer-reviewed academic journals.
  • You are investigating the work life and/or personal life of an academic or advanced researcher; however, you should not select one actual person’s life to investigate.
  • Based on your review, synthesize at least 5 key insights about working in higher education and research. Support those insights with the articles from practitioner-oriented publications. Look for principles, best practices, and developmental ideas in your review.
  • Propose the potential careers you believe would be a “best fit” for you, based on your research of multiple sources.

Submission Details:

  • Complete your response to this assignment in a 5- to 8-page Microsoft Word document, using APA style.
  • Name the document SU_BUS7000_W1_LastName_FirstInitial.doc
  • By the due date assigned, submit the document to the Submissions Area.
