Study Invitation: Experiences During Covid-19 Pandemic
---Invitation from McGill University---
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s important that early-career perspectives are heard. We are conducting a study about uncertainty and career progression for academics and researchers. If you are an early career academic/early career researcher (working primarily in academia and within 6 years of finishing your PhD OR will finish within the next year), we would like to hear from you. Participation can include an anonymous questionnaire lasting approximately 15 minutes and/or an interview lasting approximately one hour. (Interview participants will receive a small remuneration to partially compensate them for their time.)
To inquire about the study, please contact Dr. Rebekah Willson (McGill University) at rebekah.willson@mcgill.ca.
