Earlier, postdocs used to last a year or two, but now, scientists toil away for up to 10 years! Kendall Powell in an article on Nature mentions the term “permadoc,” which signifies the multiple postdoc terms that scientists end up with. In fact, a very small percentage of scientists end up being postdocs for life. Various solutions have been proposed to deal with this problem. One of them is limiting postdoc terms to put an end to the agony of scientists working with anRead Morehttps://www.kolabtree.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Postdoc-tenure-300x198.jpg
