  1. as my time in #academia marches towards its end, I am feeling a little bit... I dont know. Depressed some days, liberated on others.

    I was never the best at being an "#academic" - murderously great teacher, fantastic at a lot of stuff like engaging students, diversity work, and contributing to society, but not great at the academia game - the papers, the grants all that. Apologies for this - my private life ate the 30% extra I needed for the brutal war of attrition that is the #tenuretrack

  6. Exakt. Das sind extrem schmerzhafte Erfahrungen, die oft nicht erzählt werden, weil es privat ist. Fehlgeburten, gescheiterte IVF-Versuche und Scheidungen gehören auch dazu. Dann noch der Tod der Eltern (der oft in dieser Lebensphase zu verarbeiten ist). #tenuretrack #Professurhaben

  7. It's only shortly past 8 in the morning, but I need to #vent.
    I just overheard a new #tenure track assistant #professor talk about how they got there.
    In a nutshell, they haven't left the department since their master studies and stumbled into the tenure process by accident.

    I am (kinda) happy for them, but I am also so incredibly fucking jealous!

    I have switched not only university but country after every degree/job, so by now I live in country number 5 since starting by studies.
    The longest I've been in the same country was during my #PhD plus pandemic and unemployment for over a year.

    Especially older #academics don't seem to understand this, because whenever I mention any of this I encounter completely blank stares. Note, I'm in a department where most senior staff is local and celebrating 15-35+ years at the same employer.

    I'm in my mid-30, I don't want to move every few years when my temporary contract ends.
    I want to be able to plan more than 1-2 years at a time.

    I absolutely love doing #research, but I hate so many aspects of #academic culture or what has been normalized over the years for #AcademicLife.
    I plan on staying in #academia despite of it.

    #Rant over, time to calm down and sip my tea.

  22. Bundesbericht 2025 zur Lage junger Forschender

    Der Bericht zeigt: Rund 205.000 Promotionen laufen, die Chancen am Arbeitsmarkt sind gut.

    Doch Befristungen vertreiben viele aus der Wissenschaft.

    Die Bundesregierung will daher Tenure-Track-Professuren ausbauen, um sichere Karrierewege zu schaffen.

  39. Juniorprofessur Dr. Timo Lorenz (nicht auf BlueSky?) ist grad in die "Fishbowl" (vielleicht besser "Haifischbecken"?) eingestiegen - und redet Tacheles im Sinne von ⬆️ (siehe voriger skeet). Danke! #Fehlbesetzungsangst bei #tenuretrack vs #sexuelleGewalt #Machtmissbrauch bei entfristeten Professuren

  40. @amreibahr.bsky.social möchte #tenuretrack abschaffen und "das ganze System aufbrechen" 😀 Kurz ist es sehr still im Saal. Statt "Up or out Prinzip" bräuchte man früher unbefristete Stellen - so wie in allen anderen Branchen auch üblich. "Dann hat man auch nicht mehr das Problem Habil oder W1-Track".
