I’ve been involved in the hiring of postdoc/PhDs and it’s been interesting to sit on the other side and be an interviewer.

Although I’m not an expert here’s a thread detailing common mistakes and hints if you are applying for positions 🧵

@OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter 1. Please read the job description. Specific details eg techniques are included in there for a reason. So refer to them in your cover letter. It makes us know you took the time to read and understand the position and what it’ll involve.

13 months since I reported an obvious case of plagiarism. The paper is still online. Journal gone silent and no longer replying to emails.

Ready to name and shame both authors and the journal.

@OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter #academictwitter #sciencetwitter @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter First author on the paper that plagarised ours: orcid.org/0000-0002-0805… as you can see he has a v large number of papers across multiple research topics.
