The survey aims to uncover the experiences of postgraduate researchers who are employed in academic or academic related roles in higher education institutions in the UK.
Employment can be anything from teaching undergraduates to exam invigilation to library work to lab demonstrator to research assistant, as long as it was undertaken in a UK university between September 2008 and the present day.
If you have undertaken any kind of employment since September 2008 for your own or another institution as a postgraduate research student, please take this opportunity to complete the survey and let us know about your employment conditions, good, medium or bad.
In particular, if you have undertaken a teaching role as part of your postgraduate employment experience, NUS and UCU are interested in what kinds of support and training are offered to postgraduates that teach and whether you feel confident and well-resourced in your teaching role.
The survey should take no more than 15-20 minutes to complete. All researchers who complete the survey will be given the opportunity to be entered into a prize draw to win £50 of Amazon vouchers.
