Is 50% of a standard work week sufficient for a part-time PhD?
I'm starting out on a part-time employer-sponsored PhD after spending a few years in industry. My employer has given me 50% of my usual work-week time - ie about 19 hours a week (flexibly scheduled to suit me, not a strict pattern)- to work on the PhD research work, with the expectation that the PhD is spread over double the full-time number of years. I know PhDs have a reputation for long hours - although I don't know to what extent this reflects the workload coming in fits-and-starts vs a steady workload; how much is down to poor student time management leading things to be packed in last-minute, and how much this reflects the workload *actually* being higher. Averaged over a year, how many hours a week is typically actually needed for a PhD? Is my work allocation enough, or do I necessarily need to put in outside-of-work hours to ensure I complete in time? If so, roughly by how much should I expect to need to put in?
Advice for a mature student part-time PhD?
Having previously finished my studies at Masters level and after spending a number of years in industry in operational technical roles, I've started doing more research work and found myself underqualified for research positions, having not originally completed a PhD. I'm fortunate that my employer has been able to support a part-time PhD to rectify this - however, as someone coming back into University as a part-time mature student, what change of mindset from my current industrial work approach do I need to be successful in a PhD and in research work?
What can I expect in a career like non-partisan policy analysis?
I am a 15 year old and I enjoy researching in my down time and a drive to solve world issues. In my recent dive into future careers, I found out about a policy analyst career, which I found interesting and, perhaps, too good to be true. I would like to ask professionals about the positives and negatives of getting into non-partisan analysis, which path is best for both my interests in social/environmental issues, and what skills I might need to develop as a current 9th grader, going into 10th grade. A lot of details would be highly appreciated.

What were the most valuable career experiences that you had before becoming a professor, and what would you recommend checkpoints would you recommend me to pursue on my own journey to become one, specifically in the engineering field?
I'm a student pursuing a doctorate in the engineering field, specifically chemical or biomedical depending on what classes I end up enjoying more or excelling at in college. I'm super passionate about sharing my knowledge, but I also always want to continue learning myself, so I want to become a professor, so that I have the opportunity to teach others while also doing research with other professors and students at the university. I understand that it's important to have research experience and to get papers published for this kind of career, but I'm not sure what else would be helpful in the profession or even just in landing the job. I want to know what opportunities would help me with this, without delaying my plans for too long.

Med-Peds as a researcher?
I am interested in med-peds but I also want to do research. I have read that med-peds physicians usually choose one specialty over the other in their practice, and that those who do both are usually hospitalists. Can anyone talk about med-peds physicians being researchers while practicing both specialties? Obviously, more time would be spent on research but is it doable? Can hospitalists be committed to research?

How to incorporate undergraduate research into college life?
I’m a rising senior researching ways to get involved around campus. One thing that I notice is that it is frequent for undergrads to assist in research with their professors, or to conduct their own. I was wondering how do students manage to balance their academic and social life while doing research. I am also confused on how one can have the opportunity to conduct research as a freshman in the first place. For context, I plan on majoring in one of the sciences and applying to PA school. #researcher #researcher #college #undergraduate #research #JULY20
