what PhD lecturers keen on research would hope

• An excellent library with hard copies and e-resouces that are multidisciplinary. For biblical studies, historical, archaeological, ancient texts, philological resources, etc. i.e. practically, anything under the sun that tells us about the background of biblical communities and related writings. Commentaries are helpful but they rarely can help to provide the vantage point for ground-breaking discoveries in interpretation. Primary and background materials can.The British Library is one that is excellent for doing research in biblical studies. The quality of the lessons depends directly on how good a library facility the lecturer can access.
• Time for research and exploration of concepts. Teaching helps to provide the momentum for research, as lesson preparation is a chance for research to take place. But allow one to chart his or her own syllabus and to explore unconventional approaches for the subject that he or she deems crucial. So the lesson preparation requires time for concepts to be grasped and gaps to be filled in. Textbooks are handy for reading by the students themselves. A textbook may not be tailored to what a lecturer thinks is a good way to approach a subject or for better learning and understanding on the part of the students. So time for lesson development is important. The lecturer learns in the process, as much as he or she teaches.
• Ownership of one's intellectual property. Being employed by an educational institution can be equated to selling one's research work to the institution. This dampens the spirit of the employee to further research work. More helpfully, research findings can be free for the researcher to publish to the academic world. A good lesson delivery is the benefit that the institution reaps in this case. As the lecturer/professor develops in academic stature, the institution increases in stature too, academically speaking.
• More flexibility in time management. Stress from overloaded work is an obstacle to research work, which requires time and space. The space component consists of financial resources to facilitate travelling for resources and scholarly interaction in academic conferences.
• Respect. Reserchers may have reached their pinnacle in terms of academic capability close to retirement, and retirement allows ample time for further research. Value lecturers and professors after their retirement, and use their expertise to incultivate their research in younger scholars. They can be excellent mentors to younger scholars, and help to carry on the prestige of an institution.
• A conducive enviroment. As much as PhDs' emphases would shape an institution, shape the insitutional system to allow such employees to achieve excellence in their various academic pursuits. In this way, the institution would have won a lifelong employee.
