1. Ethics of technology and science
Group 4 Seminar II
February 11, 2015

2. Problem
Your supervisor included a post-doc from the group as a collaborator in your project, when you asked why, he says he has his reasons which he does not have to share with you; the collaborator spends 4 days working on your project during 9 months. You have to pressure your collaborator to do the work.

3. Problem
Then the collaborator’s contract is not extended by his own supervisor (not your supervisor), leaving you with unfinished work which you did not expect to have to do.

4. Dilemma
How should you as the PhD student act in this situation?

5. Dilemma How should you as the PhD student act in this situation?
Talk to the group leader to extend the contract
Talk to your supervisor to get more help
Finish all the work by yourself
Not including the post-doc in the article
Leave the project unfinished
Talk to the post-doc about finishing the work

6. Autonomy Matrix

7. Autonomy Matrix

8. ”Best Solution”
Talk to the supervisor and agreeing to do the work left, but try to get some support from the post-doc if possible, or the supervisor.

9. Thank you for your
attention!
