On a positive note, I would say the remaining fund will be completely utilised this year. So, we can expect the number of proposals to be funded will be more than previous years.PetetheCat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 11:06 pmI am wishing us all luck and I am hoping I get different reviewers than last year.
But if I had to create a hypothesis for this coming year it is that the cutoffs will all be higher for funding. More people are likely to apply if we have a huge global recession since there will probably be fewer alternative jobs that pull potential candidates out of the pool for needing fellowship funding. So I'm sure the competition will be fierce.
I'm sure that there must be some cutbacks that will come. There are a wide range of jobs that people with PhDs can do across all sectors. And for sure, universities are going to face financial hardship so the numbers of permanent academic posts will shrink in the next few years I would guess.CountZ wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:04 amIt's really troubling that so many people have unfortunately lost their employment outside academia for reasons that are outside of their control. Are you saying that unemployment is affecting post-PhD level people? I haven't heard of many cutbacks at universities yet - have you? I'm not aware of what life is like in the research-oriented private sector right now..
