Support

The ECR team supports ECRs through various initiatives. On this page, you can find further information on our support services:

Ombuds Team

The members of our Ombuds Team act as independent and neutral advisors, mediators and support people, and as a contact point for problems, conflicts and challenges that arise or have arisen as a result of working as an ECR. It consists of five members – two internal ombudspersons, two ECR trustees and an external ombudsperson.

ECR Buddy Programme

The ECR Buddy Programme is meant to help new PhDs and postdocs settle in at the University of Vienna by connecting them with people who have already been here for some time. Feel free to reach out if you need a buddy or want to become one.

Statistical peer support

You can inscribe to our Moodle course for statistical peer support and consulting. It offers:

  • Forum for peer support: Any methodological or research-related questions are welcome, and we are happy if you contribute with your knowledge and resources.
  • Statistical consulting: Mag. Dr. Takuya Yanagida offers statistical consulting for ECRs in Psychology. Consultation hours take place twice a month on Tuesday, 11:00 to 12:30 via Zoom. You can register and find further information on Moodle.
  • Resources: We try to collect and map resources for methods as well as information on workshops and courses in the Moodle course.

Suggestions and reporting

You can enter issues you would like to communicate, both anonymously or with disclosure. The idea is to make us, your ECR representatives, aware of issues we may not come across otherwise, so we can help and bettter represent you or the people affected.
