Description

Making It as a Contract Researcher examines the contemporary experience of research employment in universities, focusing on the often-invisible group of temporary and contract researchers who constitute a substantial and growing proportion of the academic research workforce. This critical and pragmatic international account explores what it means to succeed as a contract researcher in academia and how individuals and organisations in higher education can approach their careers differently. The book provides essential insights for early-career researchers navigating precarious employment, institutional structures, and professional development in a competitive academic landscape. Published by Routledge as part of the Insider Guides to Success in Academia series, this guide combines real-world perspectives with actionable strategies for building sustainable research careers despite the challenges of contract-based positions.
