CEDAR email: RESULTS from the Space Physics Postdoc Survey

[Grandin Maxime (FMI)]

Thanks to everyone who filled out the early-career survey that we distributed in winter 2024-2025. The results are in!

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:

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.
