Long-term research staff survey: preliminary results from closed-ended questions

A survey aiming to understand the personal and professional circumstances that lead to long-term

employment (defined here as 8+ years) among research staff on temporary contracts (hereafter

"long-term researchers" or “LTRs”) was distributed between 8 June - 15 July 2022. This report presents a brief overview of preliminary results based on responses to the closed-ended

questions. The analysis of the survey is ongoing and submission in an academic journal of the final

analysis is anticipated for 2023.
