- Hi everyone. Here'a an opportunity for postdocs to get all their
- gripes off their chests. I'm a writer for Science magazine and
- for our upcoming special issues on Careers in Science I'm writing
- an article broadly titled "The Lot of a Postdoc" So tell me what's good
- and bad about being a POSTDOC IN 1992. Some of the obvious issues I'm looking
- for input on are:
- Preparation for future teaching, if any
- Money woes
- Foreign Postdocs--do you look for the same benefits out of your experience
- US Postdocs in Europe
- Multiple Postdocs!!!
- Postdoc while trying to raise/support a family
- Postdocs in industry
- Postdocs in small schools, big schools, small and big labs
-
- Innundate me with email, a call or a fax and perhaps we'' talk in depth
- about youtr situation in particular.
