Sometimes we have to stand and fight for our rights! Yesterday we marched to end precariousness in the Portuguese scientific system! Many of us have been too long in the system between grants and fixed-term contracts without a clear future ahead, and this is utterly unfair!

Come and join us at University of Essex and Cefas and gain a myriad of lab, field and modelling skills. Plus you will join a super fun and supportive team and get to work on all things #bass, incl forecasting the impacts of future #ClimateChange! 🐟🐟🐟 #FishSci #PhD #fisheries
