Dr Daniel Edwards

Research degrees, particularly the PhD, are seen as an important stepping stone into a research career, particularly in the sciences where chemistry is no exception. However, as part of any contemplation about undertaking a PhD, prospective students should keep in mind the sort of career, types of future research and location of the work they might be hoping to pursue. A research project by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) for the Federal Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) provides some important insights into the supply and demand for research positions in science in Australia.

President Obama has called for the development of new energy technologies to address our national energy needs and restore US economic competitiveness. In response, the Department of Energy has established new R&D modalities for energy research and development designed to facilitate collaboration across disciplinary, institutional, and sectoral boundaries. In this research note, we provide a preliminary assessment of the potential for essential mechanisms for coordinated problem solving among diverse actors within two new modalities at the DOE: Energy Innovation Hubs and Energy Frontier Research Centers.
