'Planning for success beyond your postdoc is designed to help experienced postdocs (usually with two to four years of postdoc experience)' ]]> 2022-05-16 10:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185459922 https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185468009 Generally in Engineering they have PhD, and have 'hung on' as post docs]]> 2022-05-16 10:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185468009 https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185471247 Some given title 'fellow' in the department. If PI has big centre they do project management]]> 2022-05-16 10:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185471247 iperpetuo https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185471933 IP - I think the deeper questions here are: 
Are they still doing research? 
Do they still identify as postdocs / researchers?]]> 2022-05-16 10:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185471933 VA a postdoc may have already held another similar position in another institution so technically a long-term researcher but below the 5-year contract cut-off discussed here. A definition based on how many years of experience after their PhD degree could be important/insightful for this study. https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185502707 2022-05-16 10:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185502707 https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185505990 VA I think this should be the focus of a separate yet equally important study. The issue of job progression for PTO researchers (i.e., contributing to the development of a project) is also a burning matter .]]> 2022-05-16 11:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mikegulliver1/uamaoyshjj4qoxgq/wish/2185505990
