Just saw a grant boosted here that demanded the recipient produce at least one peer-reviewed paper, participate in a conference and 16 smaller meetings/workshops, write public engagement material, and work part-time for the organisation... for the equivalent of 2-3 months postdoc salary.
Don't boost this stuff, call it out! This isn't "every little helps". They could have created a decently-paid and decent length fellowship for one person, instead of precarity for a dozen.
@joeroe@SRLevine I have recently been encouraging one of my regional prof orgs to consider whether there should be a floor beneath which we will not accept job postings
because yeah, there are times when it's not a service to young people in the discipline to promote these "opportunities"
