This survey is intended to measure the working conditions and career prospects of non-permanent researchers in the international heliospheric and magnetospheric physics communities.
A PDF of the survey results can be found here: https://zenodo.org/uploads/16504467
The repo also contains the response data in .csv format, and Python code for plotting.
We are working to write up our interpretation of the results as a peer-reviewed article. We are particularly interested in the challenges faced by post-PhD researchers as they work to advance their careers.
LEARN MORE at the EGU Short Course 1.4: “How are Postdocs Doing? Rethinking the Postdoctoral Experience in Geosciences”, Monday, 4 May 2026, 16:15–18:00 Vienna time. We will discuss the survey results to help motivate the panel/group discussion.
