Dr Micha Campbell<p>It seems that MCRs may just be 'ageing out' as more senior academics delay retirement/there are no new positions being created. In conversation about this with my office mate, we were discussing what it will be like when we are old academics (assuming we snag that dream job somewhere), and delaying our own retirement because we will probably still be paying off our homes, as the longer duration spent postdocing now delays those 'adult' decisions.

Dr Micha Campbell<p>The past few years, we have been collecting demographic data with conference registration for the association I'm involved in. My Friday Fun was to pull the data together and have a look, and as usual, it's kind of depressing (if you are stuck in postdoc limbo, and/or Not A Man). The trend of declining representation of Not Men with career progression no longer shocks me. What stood out to me this year was the high number of academics relative to MCRs.
