Help us understand the precarious nature of fixed-term contracts.
The Action Research on Research Culture (ARRC) project at the University of Cambridge is conducting an online Discrete Choice Experiment to examine how postdocs and ECRs make career choices. The results from this survey will inform policy recommendations aimed at improving research careers.
With only 10-15 minutes of your time, you can contribute to the conversation about contract precarity in the academic sector and help the understanding of the situation among funders and universities. As a token of our appreciation, we will donate £2 to a charity of your choice for completion of our survey!
