A distressing story from one of our PhD colleagues @UniLeiden.

It's all too common that the most vulnerable members of our community (PhDs, international staff) receive the least support. We really need to do better.

Know that we will always be here for you if you need us.

[Yusra Abdullahi @ysabdullahi]

Teaching my first class this term, I dealt with a Dutch white woman student whose disrespect I was forced to tolerate for months. This person would roll her eyes at me in every class, gossip about me in Dutch, make comments about my face and hair, and question my qualifications.

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

Why weren't early career academics included in the analysis? The report states: "The range of tasks of lecturers and postdocs is very varied, and alternative arrangements are often made with PhDs on
teaching in their contract."

A poor excuse to leave out such a large group.

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

The Dutch labour inspection agency recently concluded that almost all scientific staff are performing tasks outside their UFO profile. This needs to change!

Read more about the discussion we had with our board on this topic in @WeekbladMare.

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

The @LeidenArchaeo report is out. Shocking stories of misconduct, shocking signals of a broken system.

We hope to discuss findings with the board soon. It seems the report lacks concrete suggestions to improve the culture/system for PhDs and postdocs.

[Promovendi Netwerk Nederland (PNN) @hetpnn]

PNN stands against police brutality on campus. Enabling police violence goes against the freedom of expression and assembly in universities, which we believe, as PhD candidates, is important to protect.

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

🎉 2 SEATS FOR PHDOC 🎉

We're over the moon with all the support from PhDs and postdocs this year. Tahmina and Marie are going to have your back the next two years 💪

Congratulations to all the other parties, and to you, the voter, for a record turnout @URLeiden this year!

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

Another horrible example of unacceptable behaviour @UniLeiden. It's clearly not just the individuals who are the problem, it's the system, it's the culture.

We hope the victims have people near to them that they can turn to. Know that you can always reach out to us for support.

[Mare @WeekbladMare]

BREEK: Een hoogleraar van de Universiteit Leiden en diens partner hebben zich tussen 1990 en 2023 schuldig gemaakt aan ongewenst en grensoverschrijdend gedrag. De universiteit is een ontslagprocedure begonnen tegen de hoogleraar.

📢ELECTION UPDATE 📢

Employee turnout (24.3%) is already higher than final turnout 2018 & 2020. Highest turnout since 2000 is 33.1% in 2014. Could we beat it?

Student turnout (6.5%) is lower than last year, with last year having the lowest turnout ever. Hoping for a comeback🤞

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

Why should people vote for you?

Are you happy? Do you want to keep it that way? Vote (me preferably 😊)

Not happy? Do something about it. Vote (might be me as well 😉).

Or you can of course vote for our number 2 (Marie) and 3 (Max)!

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

Who are you?

Hi! I'm Tahmina and I'm a fifth-year PhD candidate (of a six year track) in drug delivery and immunology at LACDR. I also work as a junior teacher.

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

What is your favourite proposal in the election program?

To have 40% female professors by 2026!
Leiden University currently has 31.2% female full
professors, but 49.1% of PhDs and 48.7% of assistant professors are female.

[PhDoc @PhDocUniv]

The elections have started 🎉

You can find all our info and the link to vote on our web page: https://t.co/XOD3gdvlrX

Still don't know who to vote for? How about our #1 Tahmina Fariaby? She'll tell you all about why she joined PhDoc and why you should vote for her in this 🧵
