- Motion text
Conference notes that the redeployment of former fixed term research staff is threatened by the costs attached to those with a significant period of service, in that PIs may seek external appointments or favour researchers with fewer years' continuous service and therefore lower ancillary costs. Conference also notes that this is symptomatic of the fixed term culture that prevails in HE institutions that perceives staff on FT contracts as disposable. Conference calls on Executive to collate examples of good and bad practice of moving staff from FT to open contracts and to mount a campaign to help change the institutional culture.
