Early-career researchers (ECRs) make up a large portion of the academic workforce. Yet, most leadership positions in scientific societies are held by senior scientists, and ECRs have little to no say over the decisions that will shape the future of research. This article looks at the level of influence ECRs have in 20 scientific societies based in the US and UK, and provides guidelines on how societies can successfully include ECRs in leadership roles.
早期职业研究人员(ECRs)构成了学术劳动力的很大一部分。然而,大多数科学学会的领导职位都由资深科学家担任,而 ECR 对将塑造研究未来的决策几乎没有发言权。本文着眼于 20 个总部设在美国和英国的科学学会中 ECR 的影响力水平,并提供了关于学会如何成功地让 ECR 担任领导角色的指导方针。
