       Question for the academics (this is in AU), asking on behalf of another. They are about to undergo a role change (from contract to internal research fellowship as an independent researcher at the same institution). Current supervisor would remain as the ongoing supervisor, but has not been supportive either towards advancement or career development. Question is: is there precedent for changing supervisors? Is it a career-limiting move, is it highly political, or is it a totally normal thing. #academia #ShitTheyDontTellYou
