The struggles of female and underrepresented scientists

The struggles of female and underrepresented scientists

The small numbers of URM lack the data necessary to draw valid  conclusions about retention. However, the study found, URM hiring is increasing, but not at the rate expected for the number of STEM doctoral degrees earned by the populations.  Read more

The hidden costs of a career in scientific research

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Blog, Career paths, Faculty, Research, Tenure

The hidden costs of a career in scientific research

That a career in science is demanding is unsurprising. But alongside long hours spent in the lab grappling with abstract concepts, the number of years of education it takes to enter the professional ranks and the increasingly unstable nature of such employment, exists a further demand: money. It’s no secret that science costs money — building the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and sequencing the human genome cost around €3 billion each — but what is less obvious is that entry to a career in science often requires considerable personal financial sacrifice.  Read more

Getting a pay rise in academia

Posted by Rachel Bowden | Categories: Academia, Featured, PhD, Postdoc, UK, US

How long has it been since your last pay rise? For almost half of current respondents to a recent Naturejobs poll, the answer is more than two years – and with ever-increasing inflation, that’s effectively a year-on-year pay cut.
