I am a lecturer (MCF) in France who has just been tenured, and I’ve just become pregnant. My position is in Marseille while my husband lives in Brittany near all my family. Is it possible to request a transfer after my maternity leave to avoid raising my child alone? What steps do I need to take ? I was told positions must be held for a minimum of four years there is exception ?
Hi everyone😄. I need about 50 people. Completely anonymous. It will take just 5 min. I am writting research project the the Biopsychosocial and Functional issues with women who have or suspect they have endometriosis experience. Please do mine and I will do yours 😄 thank you.
I’m a new mom on the tenure track. I got a major R&R decision while out on maternity leave, and let’s just say I NEED this paper to land.
But it’s hefty revisions on a solo paper - no coauthors to help me. Baby’s waking me 3x a night. My very limited brainpower goes to keeping track of daycare items and the administrative burden of returning to teaching.
I write the editor that I just returned from mat leave and ask humbly for an extension. She says no problem and to just ask if I need more time.
Despite my best efforts, I need more time. I go back and ask for an extra month. She agrees.
I work during naps and late into the night after baby goes to bed in order to try and make this new deadline, a pit in my stomach as it becomes increasingly clear that I won’t be able to make it with anything close to my best work on this revision.
I log into the submission portal to submit what I could slop together, only to find that, without mentioning it, this angel of an editor gave me two extra weeks beyond what I’d requested. I almost burst into tears.
Women helping women is how we all make it in this hostile world. Thank you, editor. I hope to pay it forward one day.
I’m conducting a short (5–6 minute) academic survey for my doctoral research on how digital platforms shape political conversations in India, the US, and the UK. Your responses would be valuable, and all data will remain confidential and used only for research purposes. If possible, please also share it with others; every response helps.

Hello, I am in Kinda of an odd position. I graduated with my PhD and I did two years of postdoc in the US but now I’m in a different country. I moved to start a family. Anyways, I landed a teaching position here and I am wondering if I should pursue research and publications if I eventually want to go back to the US?
My actual field does not exist here so it would be in a closely related field. I just don’t know if having international publications would count as much when I do go back to the US
