Join the campaign to save jobs at the University of Dundee. Emergency Public Meeting - Monday 22nd June, 6pm at Dundee Central Library.

We have written to the First Minister and deputy first minister. We have written and met with the SFC. We have asked local and regional MSPs to lobby on our behalf. We have informed SFC and UEG they have breached the conditions of funding. There has been no effective action to stop job cuts.

We have two job openings in my lab currently — for a postdoc (100% FTE some teaching four years) and a postdoc/phd student (75% FTE no teaching three years). Check them out at www.uni-luebeck.de/aktuelles/be...

These past few weeks the fight for our uni has taken a new turn. We've lost ~700 staff already. Will it be 1000 in the end, with the management's "Strategy to Recovery"? Unis as a business vs as a place of research & education - coming to a head in Dundee and across the UK. More ⬇️

Today members of the Dundee UCU branch protested against their voices not being heard. “We are disappointed to learn that a paper that Dundee UCU was invited to submit to Court for inclusion in the Court’s workshop on University’s recovery was rejected without appeal.” 1/4

Join the University and Colleges Union branch at the University of Dundee today. Our strike action and lobbying was a major factor in securing additional funding for the University. We consistently protect our members and ask for redundancies to be ruled out. Join now - www.ucu.org.uk/join

The current situation at the University of Dundee is that we are not getting our annual pay increase and that promotion processes are paused. At the same time the uni is refusing to rule out compulsory redundancies, it is advertising over 20 new senior management jobs for academic staff.

Today, we are out on strike again to save our jobs and tap the sign that Scottish (and in extension UK) Higher Education is not doing well, largely due to financial mismanagemement. This is all currently put on display by our Union reps in the Scottish parliament ⬇️ @ducuuo.bsky.social

Watch union representatives from Scottish universities give evidence to the Scottish Parliament on the crisis and how it is affecting staff and students. www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/educ...

We are also hosting a rally outside of the Holyrood building in Edinburgh tomorrow from 12:30-1:30pm. If you’re in Edinburgh, come and join us, in better weather ☀️ The rally will focus on our and other campus unions fight against job cuts in the Scottish HE sector.

Today we strike to ask the University of Dundee to rule out compulsory redundancies. Join us at the front of the Tower until 10am and then at Holyrood for our rally to defend Scottish Higher Education sector from 12:30-13:30.

I use EEG/MEG. When I meet like-minded researchers at conferences, the discussion always circles back to one thing: admitting that results may be confounded by leakage (also known as remaining field spread—RFS). In our new preprint, we quantify RFS in parcellated data using cross-talk function—CTF.🧵
