Abstract

The neoliberal model that has permeated higher education, has instrumentalised and commodified knowledge. This has forced academics to participate in the production of research to attract funding in the search of institutional stability. This paper problematizes the limited opportunities of integration of young Latin-American researchers in academic institutions. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that hinder access to academia and unveil the weaknesses behind governmental policies for the development of employment programmes in both industry and academia. The methodology employed, is a critical discourse analysis of five biographies of Chilean and Mexican doctors. Results uncovered the use of discursive strategies that aim to legitimise reasons behind work fragility and the discursive construction of these actors. This article contributes to acknowledge similar patterns amongst Latin-American young researchers.
