 Make an early impact. Chapter 7 in How to be an Academic Superhero, 2023, pp 36-37 from Edward Elgar Publishing Abstract: This chapter emphasizes the importance of making an early impact during the initial years of an academic career. The period from PhD to postdoctoral years is crucial for establishing oneself and building professional relationships. By demonstrating diligence, productivity and collegiality, you can create a positive impression among peers and senior colleagues, leading to valuable opportunities such as conference presentations, manuscript reviews, thesis supervision and research collaborations. It is essential to carefully consider your career choices, aligning them with long-term plans and personal commitments. Taking advantage of early career opportunities, such as attending conferences and securing research grants, can provide resources and lay foundations for future success. While it is important to be selective and prioritize high-quality contributions, there may be unexpected opportunities worth pursuing based on personal intuition. Flexibility and thoughtful decision-making contribute to establishing a strong early career and opening doors to unforeseen possibilities.
