This important piece of work by Catherine Oakley, UCU University of Leeds member, and Sophie A Jones shows the mess of precarity facing postdocs, specifically in Humanities and Social Sciences but notes many of these bad practices started in Stem subjects, and proposes how faculty research leads, funding bodies and university senior management teams can fix these problems.

The local UCU committee and UCU anticasualisation reps will work hard to try to get these recommendations implemented at the University of Leeds.

We all deserve job security.
