Job satisfaction: Turbulent times
http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/science/articles/10.1038/nj7413-685a
Nature's 2012 Salary and Satisfaction Survey suggests that many scientists are content with their work, but uneasy about finances.
Martin Hynes, chief executive of the European Science Foundation in Strasbourg, commented that in the 2012 results, as in 2010, satisfaction for assistant professors and lecturers in Europe is lower than for those in North America, possibly because of lack of empowerment or tenure-track positions. But he is surprised that in both years, the satisfaction levels of full professors converged at a relatively high rating across continents. “It is remarkable that they all cluster so closely,” he says. “Where is the image of the grumpy, eminent professor?”
