What does the day look like?
At research universities, a tenured professor's working time is roughly split into 3 parts: 1/3 teaching, 1/3 research and publication, and 1/3 grants and administration. Teaching involves giving lectures, running seminars, supervising laboratories, setting and grading exams, and guiding master's and doctoral theses. Research covers designing studies, managing a lab, archive, or field programme, analysing data, and writing peer-reviewed papers and books.
Named tools include laboratory instruments, statistical and programming environments like R, Python, Stata, MATLAB, NVivo for qualitative research, reference managers, LMS platforms such as Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard, and national grant portals. Grant work requires writing proposals and reporting to funders, while service entails faculty committees and conference organisation. There are no clinical shift rotas, but evening seminars, field seasons, travel, and grant deadlines create long and irregular hours.
