Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - What is an ‘Early Career Researcher’?

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - What is an ‘Early Career Researcher’?

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

One of the most significant and prevailing challenges in academia over the last 10 years or so, has centred around how best to support early career researchers (ECRs) in an evolving landscape which has increasingly shifted towards a reliance on temporary insecure contracts, increasing workloads, and real terms drop in salaries. The criteria for defining who falls under the category of ‘ECR’ varies across institutions and organisations, and this is important if we need to identify where support is needed, and who to provide it to. In this blog Kamar will be asking the question: What is an ECR?
