The year I won an ERC grant, I expected years of uncertainty finally to crystallise into something solid. A lab. Independence to pursue ideas. A future that can be planned in more than 12-month increments. Instead, I learned how fragile a scientific career really is." @timeshighered.bsky.social
UK university staff: have you feared for your job at any point during the past two years? How confident are you that redundancies are less likely this year than they were last year? This is your last chance to let us know in our UK Redundancy Survey. @timeshighered.bsky.social
Whether you have direct experience of redundancies or not, and whatever your role is (or was) in the university, we are still keen to hear your views

My university has just described the closure of a department & cutting of courses as 'an exciting opportunity', creating 'new possibilities for growth'. The only growth here is in senior management using marketing bullshit to describe the sector-wide destruction of the arts & humanities.
