Mid-level academic staff will be disproportionately affected, with over 80% already facing job insecurity through fixed-term contracts. These cuts jeopardize the limited progress recently achieved through national efforts to improve the working conditions. 4/7

Mobility funding for doctoral researchers and postdocs would be slashed, limiting international collaboration and career development. Meanwhile, the teaching burden on scientific staff would increase, undermining both research capacity and teaching quality. 3/7

These proposed cuts would put over 700 SNSF research projects at risk and threaten 2,000 research positions. The ETH Domain's reserves would be reduced by 1 billion CHF by 2028, making flexible and long-term research investment nearly impossible. 2/7

Mid-level academic staff are essential to research and teaching, yet they often face uncertain career paths and precarious contracts. Their voices must be heard to create a fairer, more sustainable academic system!

Federal Council confirmed today: the plans for federal budget cuts of ~500M/year will proceed. These cuts threaten the ETH, @snsf_ch (affecting PhD candidates, postdocs, Ambizione), and the teaching quality & student mobility, among others.
