Fixed-term contracts in academia remains a pressing issue for early career researchers (ECRs). I encourage ECRs to participate in this survey and help drive meaningful change—and for each response, @CentreDice will donate to @CARA1933, the Council for At-Risk Academics.
Addressing research precarity is crucial for a healthy research culture. Please help share this survey so our insights improve working conditions for all and support the Council for At Risk Academics . Link to survey on the news announcement🙏.
