  • 202. Academia Has a Postdoc Problem

    01/12/2023 Duração: 01h05min

    A few generations ago, you could probably graduate from a PhD program and immediately land yourself a junior faculty position at a nearby university. But as grad school enrollment grew, a new quasi-professional job-description emerged in the nebulous middle ground between student and professor. Lacking a better name, we just called them ‘postdocs’. It was […] The post 202. Academia Has a Postdoc Problem appeared first on Hello PhD.

    Graduate training has many milestones, but a few stand stronger in memory due to their importance.
