Authorea CEO and cofounder, Alberto Pepe, spent twelve years doing research (a few tears at CERN doing data science, an information science PhD at UCLA, and a 3-year Astrophysics Postdoc at Harvard). “During my Ph.D. and Postdoc I did not even apply to a single tenure-track job. Why? My research background is very (maybe, way too) interdisciplinary... Who the hell is going to hire me? At the end of the day, to get tenured you need to be able to teach core classes in one discipline.”
