100:00:10,890 --> 00:00:23,550Hello and welcome to the Beyond Your Research Degree podcast by the University of Exeter, Doctoral College
200:00:23,550 --> 00:00:28,410Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Beyond Your Research Degree podcast.
300:00:28,410 --> 00:00:32,160Now, we know that there's a lot of anxiety at the moment about what it means to secure
400:00:32,160 --> 00:00:37,560a job and specifically a non-academic job during the COVID 19 pandemic.
500:00:37,560 --> 00:00:45,430Everything has been turned upside down. The experiences we get, how we do our research and how we apply for jobs.
600:00:45,430 --> 00:00:51,000So to answer that, we are talking to some of our researchers who have got new jobs during the
700:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,250COVID 19 pandemic and talk to them about how they found those roles.
800:00:56,250 --> 00:01:03,240The process of applying and in some cases, what it's like to start a new job during a global pandemic.
900:01:03,240 --> 00:01:10,200So without further ado, here's the first in our series of podcasts on Moving Beyond Your Research Degree and a global pandemic.
1000:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,820Timur are you happy to introduce yourself? I sure am.
1100:01:14,820 --> 00:01:25,710My name's Timur Jack-Kadioglu I started my PhD with University of Exeter would have been February 2018
1200:01:25,710 --> 00:01:29,730I'm based with the European Centre for Environment and Human Health.
1300:01:29,730 --> 00:01:32,080Down in Cornwall.
1400:01:32,080 --> 00:01:40,670My PhD is working on a project called Blue Communities and it's a interdisciplinary programme that involves various departments.
1500:01:40,670 --> 00:01:45,930at Exeter While also working with other academic institutions in the UK,
1600:01:45,930 --> 00:01:54,540some NGOs and also academic partners in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam.
1700:01:54,540 --> 00:01:59,060I guess so I would identify as a Marine. Social scientists.
1800:01:59,060 --> 00:02:05,100My work is about the marine environment. But focussing on the social science aspects.
1900:02:05,100 --> 00:02:12,290And for my PhD. I spent time in the Philippines on the island of Palawan.
2000:02:12,290 --> 00:02:19,610My research was kind of looking at the relationships between livelihoods and governance.
2100:02:19,610 --> 00:02:25,460And especially looking at power relations and power dynamics and looking at trade offs and equity.
2200:02:25,460 --> 00:02:33,710Who the winners and losers are, so to speak, in terms of coastal development and conservation processes.
2300:02:33,710 --> 00:02:41,360Wow. Yeah. So what we're going to talk about today is actually securing a non-academic job,
2400:02:41,360 --> 00:02:48,550but particularly securing a non-academic job during the time of COVID 19.
2500:02:48,550 --> 00:02:56,030And the additional challenges that bring say. Could you tell us a little bit about the job you're going on to?
2600:02:56,030 --> 00:03:02,380Sure. So I started a job in November of twenty twenty.
2700:03:02,380 --> 00:03:08,890So I originally I still have have time in my PhD and I'm still writing up my PhD,
2800:03:08,890 --> 00:03:14,020but my new employer's allowed me to originally start part time for November and December.
