Abstract

The present paper reports a study of the British case of improving career management of contract research staff (CRS) in universities through literature survey, which derives implications for policies on science and technology personnel and for university strategies on human resource development in Japan. Recently, the Japanese government has demonstrated more concern about science and technology personnel and just initiated programs to support independent research and career-path diversification of young scholars. The projects supported by those programs have been carried out dispersed widely throughout Japan, while the British case involves a focused coordinated way of improvement; a career-management standard has been provided through a nation-wide concordat with signatories of university principals, funding agencies, and academic societies, followed by financial support to and monitoring of pilot good-practices. Features differentiating the British case from the Japanese approach have been clarified as better awareness of CRS in universities, training research managers, developing tools and handbooks on career management, and systematized career management.
