The pandemic is set to cause more pain for Australia's higher education sector

More than one in 10 research positions at Australian universities are predicted to disappear by 2024 as revenue from overseas students dries up, and prestigious Group of Eight institutions are tipped to lose the most resources.

"While all Australian universities will be impacted, 13 universities are identified as the most vulnerable regarding their future capacity to support research at current levels," the paper, released on Monday, states. "This is due to the size of their research effort and international student programs.

"Universities spend about 60 per cent of the funds that they commit to research on postgraduate scholarships and on salaries, so, clearly, if you have a significant shortfall, you will inevitably have to lose jobs," he said."The other thing is, it slows down discovery and new knowledge and industry, of course, feeds on that.

Deakin and UTS each committed 134 per cent of the discretionary income they received that year to support research, while Macquarie committed 120 per cent.

Overseas funding for overseas researchers. If they are missing so is the corresponding funding for them.

One in 10 university research jobs tipped to vanish because of pandemicResearch capacity at Australian universities is predicted to slide as the fallout of COVID-19 travel bans wipes billions in revenue from fee-paying international students. That doesn’t seem like many. Does that mean we shall see a 10% reduction in the number of feminist research studies telling us how hard done by females are? That is tragic for all the researchers, their departments and the Universities. Losing 10% of researchers during a pandemic and recession is so short sighted.
