True story: Worst bombing of an interview I did was at USC's Rossier PhD in Education program. They explained how the program came with 100% scholarship and $32k stipend, but then told me I had to sign a contract guaranteeing I wouldn't have a job during the program. I told them I had a family and a mortgage that cost a little more than $32k. I think I was seated less than 5 minutes. Lol
But if you want to teach in social sciences/humanities/etc, there is absolutely no way to teach without a PhD. So is it really not a necessary and appropriate part of a goal to teach at a university?
I disagree with you on good teachers and good teaching. Being a good researcher does not make you a good communicator and be able to explain things from multiple perspectives to different audiences.
Think of it this way. Do you want to commit to working with someone for 3 to 4 years who is completely antisocial and spends his spare time practicing hand seals for his ninjutsu?
my interview is on 20th December. i REALLY REALL want this PhD scholarship its my life's dream and i want to be the best researcher and make good name of my family. i already invested in working as research assistant for two years now just to win such PhD, to gain experience that may get me a good scholarship like this one. i got the call but i am not a good communicator i can not explain like without stuttering like i dont have th flow of speech, how will i tell them i really loved the program and project. i even want to stick to thier prestigious laboratory (QS 150-200 ranked) even after PhD as post doc fellow. thats how it matches to my interest of genomics. i sleep with thoughts of being in the interview and wake up with thoughts of telling them my about my work and how i fit. I made the presentation. now i when i rehearse it i dont have the flow of speach. :( if i memories my script then it will feel bad a news caster speech. i am talking too much i know
You could say the same thing about engineers, medical persons, lawyers, choosing to relay information of their field to a wider audience in an accessible way. This can be a great service to others. A mutually-beneficial relationship. Did neil degrass Tyson have the largest contribution to physics research as possible? Probably not. Has he brought more kids into physics (that go on to do research) than most everyone else? Probably

My question too. In my country, having a PhD is an added advantage to secure a teaching position at a university.

Thank you!!! Great thoughts!
It’s a research degree but 99% of university teaching faculty have one. 😮
I don't know why STEM field needs an interview....
Are you seriously asking this question unironically…?
