Rejected
Impose a three-year minimum contract for all post-doctoral researchers in universities
Conclusion
Uncertainty in the academic job market, especially at earlier career stages, acts as a strong additional disincentive against the prioritisation of reproducibility by researchers. Research funders, including UKRI, should work to impose a three-year minimum contract for post-doctoral researchers in universities. (Paragraph 89) Solving reproducibility challenges which emerge in the communication of research
