NTEU Research Project 2012- Melbourne University Participants wanted

Posted 4 June 2012 by Rebecca Muratore (University of Melbourne)

Monitoring Impacts of ERA and Research Quality Measures on University Staff

NTEU Research Project in 2012

We are looking for University of Melbourne staff to participate in one hour focus group workshops in June and July 2012. These focus groups will explore the effects of recent research quality measures such as the Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) upon staff (including professional and general staff members) involved in academic and research tasks.

Details:

 

Like other focus groups, we intend to record the discussion and de-identify participants during transcription. During the focus groups we will provide refreshments.

 

Purpose:

 

These focus groups are being conducted to support research by NTEU National Office. It will inform a Report that will be tabled at the NTEU National Council later in 2012 to shape the NTEU’s position on ERA. The Report will be published and made publicly available.

 

Target Sample:

 

Each focus group will concentrate upon a group of staff who share a particular type of employment. The two key types of employment are:

  • Teaching and research academics in ongoing employment,
  • Research-only staff (e.g. research technicians, contract researchers and post-doc fellows).


We are looking for a balance of members and non-members in each group.

We are looking where possible to conduct some workshops with staff exclusively from Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS) or Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) backgrounds.

 

If you would like to participate, please contact your Branch Organisers Bec and Corey, or Jen from the National Office. Contact details are listed below.
