Nature investigates multiple instances of scholars on working visas experiencing abuse and salary discrimination.
Moss argues that the concentration of power in the hands of lab heads makes academic science a fertile breeding ground for toxic dynamics and abusive supervision. In October 2021, she and Morteza Mahmoudi, a nanoscientist at Michigan State University in East Lansing, and a co-founder of the APM, published the results of a global surveyof more than 2,000 people with experience of working or studying in academia. Their sample was self-selecting.
“There was a range of salaries, but the postdocs from India and China were all at the lower end,” he says. “My friend, who was also Chinese, was a chemistry postdoc on a $28,000 salary. The Americans were on more like $39,000–40,000 and up.” In 2015, the university acknowledged that Da Silva had been classified as a visiting scholar despite his having been employed as a postdoc, and agreed to award him $16,000 in back pay and damages. It also made payments to two other foreign researchers for the same reason. A subsequent investigation showed that at least seven foreign researchers had been misclassified.
The Chinese biologist says that Baldwin could be difficult with researchers of all nationalities, but that the consequences of not having contracts extended were more serious for scholars from abroad: “For students from middle- and low-income countries, it’s a catastrophe; no contract means no visa, no income, leaving the country and problems completing our PhDs.”
In November 2020 , the MPS terminated Baldwin’s directorship of MPICE. An MPS spokesperson refused to say how many individuals had formally complained about Baldwin, but said he had also received many letters of support from colleagues and collaborators.
