Wanted: Participants in study on working conditions in academia!
Are you currently in the beginning or final phase of your PhD (first or presumably last 6 months of the PhD)? Help give PhD students a voice and take part in our study!
In our study "IPaWi - Individual Pathways in Science", we would like to follow you over two years and find out which factors contribute to a positive doctoral and postdoctoral experience, and which factors can be challenging or stressful during this time. The insights gained will form the basis for the development of targeted support services for junior researchers.
As a thank you for your participation, you will receive automated, individualized feedback on your answers after each survey. In addition, we will donate 2.50 euros per completed questionnaire to a charity of your choice. As if that wasn't enough, all participants will also be entered into a prize draw to win two Apple Watches and two Kindle e-book readers.
