The PhD
“Challenges faced by early-career researchers in the sciences in Australia and the consequent effect of those challenges on their careers: a mixed methods project.”
This project aims to fill the gaps in understanding of the difficulties faced by early career researchers (ECRs) in STEMM disciplines in Australia, an environment coloured by a lack of funding. The project examines, by querying factors known or suspected to be contributors to job satisfaction, the satisfaction – or dissatisfaction - of ECRs up to 10 years postdoctoral and involved in research at universities and research institutes in the sciences in Australia, and their relationship to intention to leave the scientific environment. The focus is on mentoring, career planning, training and professional development, work life balance and gender inequity.
