Reflections on success in academia There is growing concern in Higher Education around job security, work–life balance and inequalities, and early career researchers (ECRs) must make difficult trade-offs and life choices; with literature confirming women navigating academia face additional challenges compared to their male counterparts. Additionally, how one individual characterises another successful individual varies widely. At a time when work-life balance and the use of metrics are key concerns within the academic landscape, ECRs are voicing particular worries about the opacity with which we discuss and define success in academia, which influences recruitment and progression in unseen ways. This presentation will outline the results from three recent research projects focused on: (1) exploring the experience of ECRs navigating the academic ladder to connect contractual circumstances, employment priorities and their impacts on the life choices of individual academics; (2) evaluating how we actually define success in academia; and, (3) how do we define this success in the context of the climate and environmental crisis. Through this work a set of key considerations and recommendations associated with these findings are put forward which we feel the academic community should reflect on at both a personal, departmental and institutional level.
