Researchers at UC San Diego are investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and productivity of early career scientists. The goal is to identify factors that might promote success and prevent the broadening of disparities in the research workforce.
We invite post-doctoral fellows and early career faculty (rank no higher than Assistant Professor or equivalent) to complete an online survey, which should take approximately 15 minutes. All responses are confidential. Participants will be entered in a raffle for a $25 gift card. Click
