AGM 2021 Survey
This survey represents an ongoing effort of the FMHS Postdoctoral Society to collect a little more information about the employment status of postdoctoral staff involved in research and teaching at the University of Auckland.
Data generated from this survey will be used broadly and may be shared with other organisations. All data will be subjected to anonymisation before sharing. Please do not include personally identifying information in your short answers. You can answer this survey in part, and are not required to answer all questions.
We welcome information from all members, but some questions are aimed at RFs and SRFs on fixed term contracts. Please feel free to skip questions that are not relevant to your situation.
