Find a postdoc position.

A postdoc is a person who has received a doctoral degree and is pursuing additional research, training, or teaching to have better skills to pursue a career in academia, research, or other fields. Postdocs work closely with a faculty mentor. Postdocs play a crucial role in the university; they supplement the research expertise of faculty by sharing new techniques, collaborating with other institutions, and helping to manage the daily operations of a laboratory or research site. They also contribute teaching and advising support to undergraduate and graduate students.

Consider your long-term goals and why you want to do a postdoc:

• Do you want to stay in academia or are you looking at industry?
• Do you want to focus on teaching, research, or a combination of both?
• Are you getting a postdoc to learn new skills?
• Are you getting a postdoc to publish?
• Are you getting a postdoc to develop better teaching skills?
• Are you getting a postdoc to further develop your existing skills?

Prepare for the job search:

• Develop your CV. You need a strong CV to get a position, so get help writing it from a career counselor in your college or in Career Services in Barnes Hall. This is a very important document, which you will keep updating for the rest of your career.
• Do mock interviews. Work on your interviewing skills and develop your job talk.
• Ask your advisor and other faculty members to be your references. Letters of recommendation are a key part of the application process. You need strong references who know you well. Give each reference an updated copy of your CV.
• Network. Let everyone know that you are looking for a postdoc.

For details, go to Resumes and CVs .

Talk with your advisor and others to identify universities/labs:

Once you know what you hope to accomplish during a postdoc and have made a list of prospective labs, talk to your advisor and other faculty members to shorten this list. Also, talk with postdocs in your department to get their opinions.

Investigate the labs/PIs and university:

Check out the lab’s most recent publications and the lab’s website. Find out the record of past postdocs/grad students in the lab. Talk with current and former postdocs/grad students about their experiences there, as well as where they are now. Choosing the right PI is vital to your future career. Consider:

• Is the PI well connected?
• Does the PI have tenure?
• Does the PI have a solid record in getting grants?
• Does the PI have a solid record publishing?

Check the university salary and benefit package for postdocs; call the Postdoc Office if they have one. Find out if they offer:

• health benefits for postdocs and their families
• retirement benefit
• career counseling
• housing (can be essential in a large city)

Start applying:

Send out your CV and cover letter to the labs you are interested in. If you do not get a reply within a month, follow up with an email. Conferences are a great place to meet PIs and network; so before the conference, contact the PI/labs to schedule an informational meeting.

• Before an interview, prepare and practice your presentation.
• Make your presentation distinctive, interesting, and understandable.
• Research the universities where you will be interviewing so you can ask informed questions.
• During the interview, ask questions to make sure this is the right position for you.
• Talk to other postdocs and grad students in the lab.
• Send thank you notes after each interview.

For details, go to Interviews .

Making the decision:

By now you should have a good idea of each lab you applied to, and which is the best place for your research. Once you make a decision you need to stay with it, so think carefully before accepting an offer.

For details, go to  Evaluate Offers .

• Postdocs: The Definitive Guide
• After a PhD

As soon as you step outside the world of academia, the number of people who know what a postdoctorate is, what they involve and how to secure one quickly plummets. Given that a postdoctorate can be a popular option, especially for Science and Technology-related PhD graduates, it’s essential to address this current gap in knowledge.

What Is a Postdoc?

A postdoc is only one of many paths you can take after having completed your PhD. A postdoc (also referred to as a postdoc or postdoctoral) can be best thought as a temporary position designed to refine your research and teaching skills while undertaking practical research work. Because of this, most regard a postdoc position as a temporary stepping stone for developing a career in a more permanent position.

There’s a common misconception that a postdoctorate is an advanced doctoral degree that is undertaken after having completed a PhD. This misconception arises from individuals associating the word “post” in “postdoctorate” with the word “after”. While you will learn a lot during your time in a postdoc position, it is nothing like a degree. There are no fees, coursework, exams or vivas to deliver (thankfully!). A postdoc is, in fact, a job, and as someone in a postdoc position, you will be considered an ‘employee’. And just like any other job, the position will come with its own salary, responsibilities, training and employers.

Most postdocs are awarded by universities or research institutes as temporary contracts. However, they can also be undertaken in private companies, non-profit charities or government bodies.

What Is The Purpose Of A Postdoc?

As mentioned above, the primary purpose of a postdoc is to help bridge the gap between your current skills and your current level of experience. Due to this, postdoctoral positions are popular amongst those who have recently obtained their PhD. This is especially true for individuals who which to pursue a career in academia or research but don’t yet have adequate experience in teaching or publishing.

For the ‘learning’ nature of this role, postdocs provide an excellent option for those to continue their self-development while pursuing research in a field they’re interested in.

What Does a Postdoc Do?

A postdoc works under the supervision of an experienced researcher known as a postdoctoral advisor. What you will do on a day-to-day basis will, therefore, depend on what they require support on at any given time.

While your responsibilities will depend on your postdoctoral advisor, you can expect the following duties as part of your role:

• Contribute to the supervision of PhD students who are undertaking research projects in a closely related field.
• Supporting the research team in managerial tasks related to planning, organisation and administration.
• Undertake research, including but not limited to: qualitative data collection, data analysis and data and lab management.
• Contribute to the production, review and dissemination of academic and non-academic writing, including publications.

Your responsibilities will also depend on who your postdoc position is with. Positions offered by universities will often place a high emphasis on the academic aspects of the role. This involves aspects such as working more independently, developing your supervisory and teaching capabilities, and improving your communication skills through participation in seminars and conferences. In doing so, they’re helping you to become an individual capable of both conducting research and transferring knowledge – in other words, a university lecturer!

The opposite is true for postdoc positions held in industry, such as a private organisation or government body. As you can expect, these roles will place almost all of its emphasis on conducting research and advancing projects forward, with little focus on anything that falls outside of this.

How Long Should I Be A Postdoc For?

There is no set rule for how long you should remain in a postdoc position. Regardless of this, most individuals stay within a postdoc position for between 2 to 4 years. During this period, it’s not uncommon to move between one or two postdoc positions, with one position being abroad for a more rounded experience.

The time you may choose to spend in a given postdoctoral position will depend on several factors. The most influential of these will be:

• The size of the research project’s scope,
• The support needs of the principal investigator/postdoc advisor,
• The amount of funding available.

Although you could undertake a postdoctorate for a year or less, most will advise against this. This is simply because you will likely not have enough time to gain valuable experience associated with producing publications, writing research grant proposals and speaking at conferences. Although it may be possible to complete these within a single year, most researchers will opt for a minimum of two years for a single position. This will provide them with ample opportunity to contribute a significant amount to a project, publish a handful of papers and attend several conferences. On top of this, it will allow you to develop a deeper relationship with the students you help teach or supervise. This will prove invaluable experience should you plan on becoming a university lecturer .

How Are Postdoc Positions Funded?

Postdocs are usually funded in one of three ways:

• The postdoc secures the funding themselves . This can be achieved in several ways, with the most common being applying to opportunities put out by government, research or charity bodies. Examples of these opportunities include the  NWO Talent Programme Veni  and the  Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship . Securing funding under any of these schemes will provide you with a ‘stipend’ (which acts as your salary), and ‘’research funds’ for enabling the project. It’s worth noting that if you secure funding in this way, you won’t typically be restricted to any one university. Although when applying to these opportunities you’ll be required to indicate where you intended to undertake your research, if successful, you can take your funding and associated research project to any university or research institution of your choice.
• A Principal Investigator (PI) secures a research grant  for a project, part of which will go towards hiring one or more postdoctoral assistants. In these scenarios, the university will employ you to work on the project they gained funding for.
• A research body hires postdoctoral assistants irrespective of any new funding . In these scenarios, the researching body, who could be anyone from universities to research centres, charities and private organisations, may put aside their own funds to secure a postdoc assistant as a regular salaried employee.

What is the Average Postdoc Salary?

It goes without saying that the average salary for a postdoc will vary from role to role, with factors such as your country, your employer and your level of experience being influential factors.

If working as a university employee, your salary as a postdoc will be determined via a set pay scale known as the “ HE single pay spine “. Under this pay spine, a postdoc can expect to earn an average of £31,000 per year, though, in reality, a postdoc’s salary can range between £29,000 to £34,800.

On the other hand, the stipend (which will act as your postdoc salary) associated with the funding you have secured yourself will directly depend on the opportunity you acquire. Because of the wide range of possibilities, your potential stipend can vary considerably. As well as having a high variance, they also tend to have a higher ceiling compared to the salaries associated with a PI’s research grant or a research body’s employment. For example, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship can be worth over £50,000 per year. However, these types of fellowships are not only highly competitive but are also not an entirely fair comparison to postdoc assistant roles. This is due to the fact that a research fellow will be expected to have a greater amount of experience and to assume a higher level of responsibility than a regular postdoctoral researcher.

In case you’re thinking of working abroad, it would be useful to know that the median salary of a postdoctoral researcher in the United States is approximately $42,000 (£33,000 at the time of writing) per year.

The Postdoctoral Position

Postdoctoral associates and fellows are valued members of MIT’s community, playing critical roles as trainees and partners in our academic and research enterprise.

Postdoctoral Training Program

Working under the supervision of MIT faculty members, postdoctoral scholars come to MIT to develop their scholarly competence. The postdoctoral period is an integral component of the training necessary for a future, independent research career. A broad training program should be in place, and encompass the following:

• learning techniques and experimental approaches relevant to the research project
• productivity
• feasible career goals
• career development
• discussion of how to choose research questions
• practice in writing papers and research proposals
• development of supervisory skills
• development of a network of peers and contacts
• attendance, and presentation of research, at meetings and seminars
• support with regard to life events, such as childbearing

MIT has an established program for ensuring that postdocs receive  mentoring  and guidance throughout the postdoctoral period, in addition to numerous opportunities for  career development  and more informal mentoring.  Explore MIT postdoctoral demographics and alumni outcomes .

Length of Stay

Postdocs join the MIT community soon after receiving the doctorate, and their length of stay varies depending on area of interest and individual circumstances. Since the postdoctoral position is not intended to be long-term, MIT limits the postdoctoral period to four years, with promotion to the rank of senior postdoctoral associate possible after three years. Extension for a fifth year or promotion to research scientist requires a dean’s or VPR approval.

COVID-19 information and vaccination policy .

A NIH-funded post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of Susan J. Baserga, MD, PhD, in the Departments of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University and the Yale School of Medicine. The successful candidate will be driving research into the mechanistic biochemical and physiological aspects of how ribosomes are made in eukaryotic cells using model systems ranging from human cell lines and mice to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Xenopus tropicalis . The successful candidate will not only gain extensive experience working in these model systems but will also receive expert career mentoring. They will develop skills in a wide range of basic biochemical and genetic techniques including, but not limited to, high throughput screening, northern blots, western blots, qPCR, subcellular fractionation, co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence and RNA-seq.

Ribosome biogenesis is essential for cells and developing organisms. As such, ribosome production is often dysregulated in cancer and is implicated in a growing number of congenital human genetic diseases known as the ribosomopathies (a recent paper from our laboratory can be found here at Bryant et al PNAS https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2017777118 ). We have also uncovered strong evidence to support a role for the nucleolus and ribosome biogenesis in embryonic development, neurodegenerative diseases, cytoskeletal integrity, and DNA repair, among other cellular processes and diverse signaling pathways (see our papers in Cell Reports, 2018; Molecular Biology of the Cell 2021). This year we have published a landmark study on how microRNAs regulate the making of ribosomes (Nucleic Acids Research 2024), leading us in an entirely new scientific direction to relevant questions of human brain development. The successful candidate will conceptualize and design original research among these themes and execute it in an environment that values teamwork, camaraderie, and intellectual curiosity.  

Candidates must be highly-motivated and have a PhD in the biological sciences, with a degree in biochemistry, genetics, cancer biology, developmental biology, or cell biology preferred. A high level of proficiency in basic laboratory techniques is also required.

For more information about the Baserga laboratory please visit our website at  https://basergalab.yale.edu/ . If you are interested in this position, please send your CV and cover letter to Dr. Susan J. Baserga at  susan.baserga@yale.edu .

Email/website: https://rtmccoy.com/prospective_postdocs/

Introduction of Department: The Yale Department of Linguistics is home to a broad range of scholars who study language in its many facets: What rules or constraints define the structure of language? How do people learn and process language? How do languages change over time? How can we develop technology that can process language effectively? By studying such topics, we can use language as a window into the human mind and human society.

Overview of the Position: The Yale Department of Linguistics seeks candidates for a

Postdoctoral Associate in Computational Linguistics, who would work under the guidance of

Professor Tom McCoy. Applicants should have a background in Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Psychology, Computer Science, or another discipline related to computational linguistics. The applicant’s research agenda should relate to the use of computational methods to understand human cognition and/or the use of insights from linguistics and cognitive science to advance artificial intelligence; applicants who are purely interested in artificial intelligence, without a connection to linguistics, would not be a strong fit for this position. Potential research directions include developing computational models of language learning (e.g., neural networks or Bayesian models) or analyzing the linguistic representations of large language models; see https://rtmccoy.com/research/ for more discussion of potential research topics.

Education: The postdoctoral associate will be encouraged to attend seminars within the Linguistics Department that cover topics relevant to their research interests and professional goals. During regular meetings with the faculty mentor, the postdoc will also discuss current research in computational linguistics in order to further their education about the state of the field.

Training: At the start of employment, the postdoc and the faculty mentor will meet to discuss the postdoc’s career goals so that they can develop a plan for how their time at Yale can best advance those goals. Depending on the nature of those goals, types of training that the postdoc might receive include training from the faculty mentor in relevant computational techniques, opportunities to mentor student research (with guidance from the faculty mentor), and attendance at workshops about career planning.

Mentoring: The postdoctoral associate will attend weekly meetings with the faculty advisor to discuss research projects. They will also be encouraged to attend weekly lab meetings for the research groups that relate to their interests, such as the Computational Linguistics at Yale (CLAY) research group, and they will be encouraged to collaborate with other members of Yale’s computational linguistics community.

Location: The postdoctoral position will be held in-person on the Yale campus in New Haven, Connecticut, at the Department of Linguistics in Dow Hall.

Timeline: This postdoctoral position is a one-year appointment with the possibility for a one-year renewal, up to a maximum total of three years. The start date is flexible but is expected to be approximately August 15, 2024.

Qualifications: The applicant must have received a PhD before their start date. They are also expected to have a background in the application of computational methods within linguistics or cognitive science. Applicants will be judged based on their prior achievements and their fit with the faculty mentor’s research interests.

Process to apply: Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, with priority given to applications received on or before April 4, 2024.. Applicants should supply three things: (i) An up-to-date CV; (ii) exactly two writing samples (e.g., two papers that you have written); and (iii) a one-to-two paragraph summary of the applicant’s research interests. The research summary can be informal (e.g., it could just be a bulleted list) - the goal is simply to provide a sense of what topics or questions the applicant might want to work on during a postdoc. Please send these materials via email to tom.mccoy@yale.edu ; the subject line of the email should contain the phrase “Postdoc application” and your name (e.g., “Postdoc application: Alex Smith”).

Selected applicants may be asked to also provide two letters of recommendation, but these should not be submitted with the initial application.

A position for an ambitious junior postdoctoral researcher is immediately available in the laboratory of Chris Burd of the department of cell biology at the Yale School of Medicine. We are cell biologists with interests in understanding homeostatic pathways that maintain the functions of membrane-bounded organelles, especially the Golgi apparatus, the plasma membrane and the lysosome. Currently, we focus on sphingolipids that are produced in the Golgi apparatus. Perturbations to sphingolipid synthesis, trafficking and turnover play key roles in protection from neurodegenerative disease (e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), metabolic disease (e.g., diabetes) and developmental disorders. Recent discoveries from our lab include a role for very long chain sphingolipids in cholesterol homeostasis, lysosome function and growth regulation. Our laboratory relies heavily on lipidomics, metabolic lipid labeling technologies, live cell imaging and biochemistry.

The successful candidate will have experience with lipid biochemistry and analysis and have a strong desire to apply their training to investigate a cholesterol-sphingolipid homeostasis axis that controls cholesterol and sphingolipid levels of organelle membranes. The candidate will benefit from an exceptionally collaborative research community with expertise in membrane biophysics, optical imaging technologies, organelle cell biology and diverse model organisms.

Working at TU/e

Phd/postdoc position on mv class solid-state, arbitrary waveform pulse sources, job description.

The Electrical Energy Systems (EES) group within the Department of Electrical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) seeks to hire an outstanding PhD candidate or Postdoc within the field of high-voltage pulsed power research.

This is a 4-year salaried PhD position or a 3-year salaried Postdoc position. We will only hire one candidate and will mainly focus on the candidate’s profile to make our choice, since this is a highly challenging, yet unique project, requiring a special blend of qualities in the candidate.

Project description

The first task of the PhD/Postdoc will be to develop a 200-kV pulse source prototype with the aim of identifying the best topology (probably the Impedance-Matched Marx Generator), the best voltage level per stage, the best charging method, the best triggering and control method, the best HV connection method, etc. The methods to develop this prototype will consist of circuit simulations, sub-system-prototype development and 3D electromagnetic simulations. The candidate will be responsible for this development, but will work in a team of other PhD candidates, postdocs and technicians that will assist. Finally, the full 0.7-MV prototype will be developed along similar lines and with all lessons learned from the 200-kV prototype.

Electrical Energy Systems Group

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a world-leading research university specializing in engineering science & technology. The Department of Electrical Engineering is responsible for research and education in Electrical Engineering. The discipline covers technologies and electrical phenomena involved in computer engineering, information processing, energy transfer and telecommunication. The department strives for societal relevance through an emphasis on the fields of smart sustainable systems, the connected world and care & cure. The TU/e is the world’s best-performing research university in terms of research cooperation with industry (#1 since 2009).

The Electrical Energy Systems (EES) group has a strong research line on Pulsed Power Technology, which is the topic that deals with the generation of the short high-voltage pulses. By generating very short high-voltage pulses, we can produce chemically active electrical discharges (plasmas). These plasmas can then be employed for environmental applications, such as air or water purification or to “activate” water, which gives the water disinfecting and fertilizing properties. Other uses for plasma are medical (wound disinfection, wound healing acceleration) and surface treatment of materials (etching, deposition of layers, surface modification, etc.). Pulsed Power Technology is practiced at several world-recognized institutes around the world. One of these top institutes is the EES group at Eindhoven University of Technology.

In EES’ High-Voltage laboratory (a 14x14x8m Faraday cage) we work on (nanosecond) high-voltage pulse source design, plasmas, pulsed power applications and all the intermediate steps in the process. Our main focus is on the development of nanosecond pulsed high-voltage circuits that generate pulses from several kV to hundreds of kV and from less than one nanosecond duration to pulses of several hundreds of nanoseconds duration.

Job requirements

We are looking for candidates that match the following profile:

• For the PhD position: A master's degree in Electrical Engineering with excellent grades, preferably with a specialization in pulsed power, high-voltage engineering and/or power electronics engineering and some knowledge in practical mechanical engineering.
• For the Postdoc position: A PhD degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in pulsed power, high-voltage engineering and/or power electronics and some knowledge in practical mechanical engineering. Knowledge on solid-state pulsed power systems and 3D-EM simulations with CST (or comparable software) is preferred.
• Experience with working in a lab environment. For this project it is important that you feel comfortable working with high voltage, but also that you can design and implement prototypes and research setups in the lab, preferably having experience with PCB design.
• Be able bridge the gap between fundamental concepts and theories on the one hand, and practical implementation and evaluation of these concepts on the other hand.
• A team player that enjoys working in multidisciplinary teams.
• Good communication and organization skills.
• Excellent English language skills (writing and presenting).

NIH pay rise for postdocs and PhD students could have US ripple effect

Amid a reckoning over poor job prospects and stagnating wages for early-career scientists, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) said this week that it will raise the salaries of thousands of postdoctoral researchers and graduate students who receive a prestigious NIH research fellowship. The move could boost pay for other scientists as well, because academic institutions often follow guidelines set by the NIH.

Beginning immediately, postdocs who hold one of the agency’s Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSAs) will earn at least US$61,008 per year — an 8% increase and the largest year-over-year increase the NIH has implemented since 2017. Postdocs’ salaries, which are adjusted for years of experience, are capped at $74,088 per year. Graduate students’ yearly salaries will rise by $1,000, amounting to an annual salary of $28,224. The agency will also provide an extra $500 in subsidies for childcare and $200 for training-related expenses.

“This is a major step in the right direction and something that the majority will agree is widely needed to retain talent in the biomedical and academic research sectors,” says Francisca Acosta, a biomedical engineer and postdoc at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, who is herself funded through an NRSA.

Postdoc shortage

In 2022, the agency assembled a working group to advise it on how best to retain and cultivate postdoctoral talent , after reports that principal investigators were struggling to fill vacant postdoc positions . In December last year, the panel recommended a minimum salary of $70,000 for postdocs.

The NIH agreed that a salary increase is indeed needed for the more than 17,000 trainees covered by the NRSAs. But in its announcement, the agency acknowledged that the pay rise it has implemented falls short of the council’s recommendation. It cited its tight budget in recent years as a reason.

It added that “pending the availability of funds through future appropriations”, the agency would increase salaries to meet the recommended $70,000 target in the next three to five years.

The agency also suggested that NIH-funded institutions could supplement salaries in other ways. That presents a challenge, according to Sharona Gordon, a biophysicist at the University of Washington in Seattle, given that the NIH’s modular R01 grants — one of the main NIH research awards with which principal investigators fund their labs — have remained at $250,000 per year since they were introduced in 1998. Such grants cannot be used to supplement salaries, meaning that lab heads have to pull money from other sources to increase trainees’ pay.

Even scientists who approve of the NIH’s move say it could have unintended consequences. “For institutions such as ours, which mandate that the postdoc minimum salary be set to the NIH minimum, there are some concerns that this increase in personnel costs could be a barrier for labs based on funding levels,” Acosta says.

For some, the five-year timeline for the increase feels insufficient. Haroon Popal, a cognitive-science postdoc at the University of Maryland in College Park whose work is funded by the NIH, says that although he understands the pressures on the agency, the new salary will not be enough to support him as he assumes multiple caring responsibilities. Even with the boost, postdoc salaries in academia fall far short of what researchers could make in government, industry or non-profit positions.

“This is an issue of diversity and equity for me,” he says. “The new postdoc salary is not allowing people like me to be in academia, which is counter to the NIH’s, institutions’ and our scientific community’s goals of increased diversity.”
