Since I obtained my summa cum laude PhD in management sciences (information management) in 2012, I have been concentrating my research efforts on the multi-disciplinary area of matching processes between education, labor market, and individuals. Previously, I founded the Center of Job Knowledge Research at the Amsterdam Business School, University of Amsterdam (UvA). Since then I have supervised doctoral research at the intersection of the following fields: Knowledge Management, Learning Analytics, Data Science and Organizational Behavior. I published my research in various peer-reviewed international journals and book chapters, mostly in the fields of knowledge management and education (e.g.: Organizational Research Methods, Journal of Learning Analytics (JLA), Journal of Vocational Behavior, and British Educational Research Journal). I regularly review manuscripts for academic journals and conferences in the scientific community I am engaged with (e.g. Computers in Human Behavior, JLA, LAK).

As the coordinator of the FP7 MSCA ITN Eduworks project, I developed a multi-disciplinary training programme for graduate students. This included the development of a transversal (e.g. writing and communication skills) and a personalized, research specific training programme covering methodological (advanced statistical methods, research design) and technical (data science, basic coding skills) courses for social scientists. Utilizing the above-mentioned training, I organized a number of summer and winter schools. Further, I worked out a complex quality management system to monitor the training progress of a multi-disciplinary group of graduate students.

Dr Janet Metcalfe OBE is Head of Vitae, an international programme with a mission to lead world-class career and professional development for researchers. She leads on Vitae’s activities relating to the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, the UK equivalent to the European Charter and Code, and the UK process for the HR Excellence in Research Award. Janet was a member of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Advisory Group (2013 –2017).

She manages the Culture, Employment and Development in Academic Research Survey (CEDARS), a large-scale biennial survey of researchers’ experiences. She has recently undertaken two surveys of the impact of Covid-19 on the mental health and research activities of researchers and research groups. She works internationally with research institutions and funders to create professional development programmes and training for researchers at all stages of their research career.

Recent projects include: Exploring the wellbeing and mental health of doctoral researchers; Research Integrity: a landscape study and an H2020 project for EURAXESS on the intersectoral mobility of researchers. She has authored a series of careers publications under ‘What do researchers do?’ Her recent publications include: ‘What do research staff do next?’ on the career paths of postdoctoral researchers who leave European research organisations to work beyond academia. Janet led the development the Vitae Researcher Development Framework that describes the knowledge, skills and attributes of highly effective researchers.
