🎓 Did you know there are (at least) four ways to combine supervisors and PhD students for your regular meetings — and that each serves a different purpose?That's the topic of today’s 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐚 video – and meeting type number three is a doozy: super useful and rarely done.👇 Here are the four types:1) 🧑‍🏫👩‍🎓 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬 + 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭Your classic setup. Everyone's in the room, alignment is clear, but don’t overdo it. Alternate weeks works well - or try a 𝟑-𝟏 structure, with three solo (meeting type 2 below) meetings and one all-in meeting per month.2) 🧑‍🏫👩‍🎓 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 + 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭Lets the less experienced supervisor lead solo. Builds confidence and gives them the space to grow as an independent mentor.3) 🧑‍🏫🤝🧑‍🏫 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 + 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 (𝐍𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭)The underrated gem. A private space to speak frankly, mentor behind the scenes, and stay aligned on how best to support the student.4) 👩‍🎓🧑‍🏫 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 + 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐍𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫)Use sparingly and thoughtfully – but it has 𝐭𝐰𝐨 valuable modes:One is a circuit-breaker meeting to address specific issues or enable the student to confide in a safe space.The other is higher-level mentoring: sharing experience, career advice, and helping the student think longer-term about their trajectory.📌 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲:Get your meeting mix right, and everyone wins – the student, the supervisors, and the broader mentoring relationship.👉 Watch the full video on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dGgGbUJ5#HackingAcademia #PhDLife #PhDSupervision #AcademicMentoring #GradSchoolTips #ResearchCulture #HigherEd #AcademiaUnpacked #PhDChat
