As mid-career faculty, determine where to take your research next.
Faculty commonly struggle with research at mid-career. Some may struggle with a stagnant research agenda and reduced scholarly productivity, while others may question their commitment to the research agenda that led them to tenure. In this course, you will learn a process for resetting, rebooting, and reimagining your research and scholarship so you can get back on track and design a research plan that aligns with where and who you are at your mid-career stage.
This course is designed for mid-career faculty who are seeking guidance to plan the next steps for their research, including tenured and career faculty who:
- Feel their research is stagnant.
- Want to level up their research and scholarship.
- Seek to shift or expand their research focus.
- Want to explore the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL).
To support you through this process, we will explore three paths to mid-career scholarship and research: building and leveling up your current research agenda, exploring new research strands, and developing a SOTL agenda. We will discuss the merits of each path within specific institutional contexts, as well as long-term career goals, and identify key strategies so you can move forward with a research agenda that aligns and reflects you in this current moment.
The following lessons are included with this course.

INSTRUCTOR

Corinne Nicolas, PhD, PCC
Assistant Director of Coaching, Academic Impressions
Corinne is an ICF-certified coach and facilitator working primarily with early-career and mid-career academics seeking guidance and support in a variety of areas of their academic life, including productivity, workplace dynamics, career advancement, work-life balance, “academic parenting”, next career steps, etc.
Her approach to coaching is vision driven and goal focused. She partners with clients to help them identify their professional vision – their why – and to think through how to align their academic life with that vision and their aspirations. Together, they explore how to bring intentionality into their decision-making, using strategies tailored to their needs and contexts, so they can create career paths that work for them.
A tenet of Corinne’s coaching is creating a safe space for clients to explore how they may sabotage themselves, to get the guidance and support needed to advocate for themselves, and the headspace they desire to think through next steps in their daily work or career.
Prior to becoming a coach, Corinne worked in higher education for 25 years, in both small liberal arts and large research university settings. During that time, she chaired numerous faculty committees, directed several academic programs and divisions, and also worked in faculty development, designing and facilitating training for faculty and academic leaders in support of institution-wide initiatives.
