BACKGROUND
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic brought about restrictions, additional workload, insecurity, or need for inventing new routines for professionals worldwide. The pandemic and its restrictions have been discussed as a career shock.
OBJECTIVE
Adding knowledge to this, our study investigated the academic and family (care) situation of young scientists in a German technical university.
METHODS
We conducted an online survey including young scientists from a technical university in Germany in April 2021. 346 participants (mean age 33 years, 37% women) gave self-ratings on academic and life situation during the pandemic year, care work, preferences for scientific career and family life.
RESULTS
Family and career were independent priorities (r = 0.021, p = 0.676). Two thirds (68%) of the young scientists reported no deterioration in scientific outcome during the pandefmic year. But, care times and number of children impacted negatively on scientific productivity in terms of publications. This was true for both women and men.
CONCLUSIONS
Young scientists need individual support for their career perspective, according to their concrete career level and life situation.
背景
冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行给全球专业人士带来了限制、额外的工作负担、不安全感，或需要发明新的日常工作模式。大流行及其限制被认为是职业冲击。
目的
在此基础上，我们的研究调查了德国一所工科大学年轻科学家的学术和家庭（护理）状况。
方法
我们于 2021 年 4 月在德国一所工科大学进行了一项在线调查，共有 346 名参与者（平均年龄 33 岁，37%为女性）对大流行期间的学术和生活状况、护理工作、对科学职业和家庭生活的偏好进行了自我评估。
结果
家庭和事业是相互独立的优先事项（r=0.021，p=0.676）。三分之二（68%）的青年科学家报告称，在大流行期间，他们的科研成果没有恶化。但是，护理时间和孩子的数量对科研生产力（以出版物数量衡量）产生了负面影响。这对女性和男性来说都是如此。
结论
根据具体的职业水平和生活状况，年轻科学家需要对其职业前景进行个性化支持。
