Our Halloween social event was last night 🎃 such a lovely evening with UCD postdocs. We welcomed those new to UCD and hope our event gave them some connections for navigating their time here ☺️

We would like to thank @paul_gavan for flagging our report in the Seanad last week. The issues faced by postdocs are not new, and have only been made worse in the current cost of living crisis. Urgent change is needed @UCD_Research @reculture_ucd @UCD_EDI @DeptofFHed.
In the Seanad last week, @paul_gavan raised the urgent issue of PostDoc Researchers at @ucddublin. Precarious working conditions ⏳ cannot continue—our researchers deserve fair contracts ✍️ and job security 🔒. It's time for real change! @ucdrsa @IfutUcd #SupportPostDocs

Last one before next week's #PostdocAppreciationWeek !. Our #PostdocExperienceSurvey in #UCD also shows over a third of postdocs feel their workload is too heavy, yet only 29.9% have discussed this with their PI. It’s vital to have these conversations.

We understand academia is demanding, but how can we ensure better communication and support for postdocs? 🤔 @reculture_ucd #AcademicLife #PostdocSupport.

Continuing on our upcoming #PostdocExperienceSurvey in #UCD, 41.3% of postdocs reported issues with PI responsiveness, which can impact work and career progression. #PostdocAppreciationWeek

This is key, as PIs play a crucial role in early career guidance, networking, and future opportunities. #ResearchSupport #PostdocMentorship @UCD_EDI @reculture_ucd @UCD_Research
