520 3 The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited builds on the 2000
report Enhancing the Postdoctoral Experience for
Scientists and Engineers. That ground-breaking report
assessed the postdoctoral experience and provided
principles, action points, and recommendations to enhance
that experience. Since the publication of the 2000 report,
the postdoctoral landscape has changed considerably. The
percentage of PhDs who pursue postdoctoral training is
growing steadily and spreading from the biomedical and
physical sciences to engineering and the social sciences.
The average length of time spent in postdoctoral positions
seems to be increasing. The Postdoctoral Experience
Revisited reexamines postdoctoral programs in the United
States, focusing on how postdocs are being guided and
managed, how institutional practices have changed, and
what happens to postdocs after they complete their
programs. This book explores important changes that have
occurred in postdoctoral practices and the research
ecosystem and assesses how well current practices meet the
needs of these fledgling scientists and engineers and of
the research enterprise. The Postdoctoral Experience
Revisited takes a fresh look at current postdoctoral
fellows--how many there are, where they are working, in
what fields, and for how many years. This book makes
recommendations to improve aspects of programs--
postdoctoral period of service, title and role, career
development, compensation and benefits, and mentoring.
Current data on demographics, career aspirations, and
career outcomes for postdocs are limited. This report
makes the case for better data collection by research
institution and data sharing. A larger goal of this study
is not only to propose ways to make the postdoctoral
system better for the postdoctoral researchers themselves
but also to better understand the role that postdoctoral
training plays in the research enterprise. It is also to
ask whether there are alternative ways to satisfy some of
the research and career development needs of postdoctoral
researchers that are now being met with several years of
advanced training. Postdoctoral researchers are the future
of the research enterprise. The discussion and
recommendations of The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited
will stimulate action toward clarifying the role of
postdoctoral researchers and improving their status and
experience.
