I work in the School of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow. Interested in gels, soft matter, castles, guitars and mountains. All views are my own!
I really think there is a market for old-styled cars with decent bodywork and engines - what looks best, cybertruck or MGB???

Try multiplying by number of FRS at each institution and that should weight it in the ‘right’ way for you… or maybe by the number of MPs from a PPE degree you run?

A few key things that apply no matter where you are:
⭐ Meeting with your supervisor at least once a week strongly correlates with higher satisfaction
⭐ Students early in their PhD tend to be happier than those nearing the end
⭐ Working more than 60 hours a week makes satisfaction plummet

I know this may not be the quickest but, as an academic, if you email me for a paper I have written, I will send a copy asap…

Unless you are certain specific profs who apparently can do none of these, but that’s ok because ££££ … basically, if you have to do these things, you have been told you aren’t bringing in enough cash!
