Session: 09 - Tuesday 6th July AM (9.15 - 12.45)
Title: The implications for training and capacity building of trends in fixed-term employment among social science researchers
Name: Alis Oancea
Affiliation: University of Oxford
Abstract Details
The session will use data on employment trends in social science research and on researcher experiences to explore the following question: Are the development needs of fixed-term researchers as a group in any ways different from those of, say, post-graduate students, or of early-career researchers (e.g. because other sub-groups might have distinctive characteristics, or because their work conditions and experience may be different)? The session will then explore ways in which these needs could begin to be addressed, including critical assessment of current policy and practice.
