Research Survey on „Research Supervision and Academic Well-being“: Participants wanted!
We have received and would like to forward you the following invitation to participate in a research survey on Supervision and Academic Well-being. Please find further information below.
We coordially invite early career researchers to participate in an online survey on „Research Supervision and Academic Well-being“!
In this survey, a group of early career researchers from Spain seeks to gather experiences from PhD students and postdoctoral researchers who work directly in research. The goal is to identify supervisory behaviors that may impact well-being and mental health within academic settings in order to build a healthy and supportive academic environment.
It is a reality that many researchers, both those in training (predoctoral students) and those in the early stages of their professional careers (postdoctoral researchers), face challenging situations in their work environments, often due to inadequate supervision or inappropriate practices by their supervisors or principal investigators. This can sometimes affect their well-being and mental health. While studies have been conducted on best practices from the supervisors‘ perspective, it is essential to understand the viewpoint of those who directly experience these situations. In this regard, the present research aims to gather insights from early-career and training researchers to better understand which characteristics and behaviors are associated with a good or poor supervisor/principal investigator, thereby identifying practices that foster healthier and more productive academic environments.
All answers will be 100% anonymous, and the data will be used exclusively for this research.
