4 years after a first survey, CJC lauched in mai 2010 a second survey to evaluate the working and living conditions in France of young researchers coming from foreign countries.
This survey is now closed but we gathered more than 2000 answers in one month ! Thanks to all the young researchers who answered and/or sent the informations on this survey to their co-workers and friends.
We're currently working on the analysis of the answers : the conclusions should be available in September 2010.

Rules have changed about how curses are counted in the lecturers duties : from now on, remuneration of practical lessons (TP = travaux pratiques) will equal the one of tutorial lessons (TD = travaux dirigés). Except... for PhD candidates ! They will still have to give more practical lessons than their permanent colleagues.
Who's talking about equality ?
