- Reposted by Martin SchmidCongratulations, but sadly scholars who’ve contributed to this success are forced to leave the university after 8 years due to the chain contract regulation. Almost 90% of academic staff live and work precariously—are on limited contracts because the @univie.ac.at does not offer permanent positions
