Postdoc is conceptually different from a #PhD position. Below are some key points to keep in mind before starting postdoc.

1️⃣ The harsh reality of being a postdoc:

1. Postdoc is a contractual (not educational) position. Your postdoc duties are defined by your contract & agreement with your advisor.

2. Usually, a contract is given for 1 year and renewed annually. It does NOT offer the same job security that PhD students enjoy. Be prepared to start searching for a new position in 1st year and leave anytime.

3. Postdoc is inherently a position for academia (with a few exceptions like in bio). Often, companies will assume that you’ve chosen an academic track, not industry. They’d rather hire a fresh PhD graduate from the same field than a postdoc. So, your job search outside academia may become challenging, especially if you do fundamental research.

4. If you want to be a faculty, your postdoc may require a lot more efforts than you originally expected, making it the most intense time of your life. Be prepared.

_________

2️⃣ If you take postdoc because you want to be more competitive for senior academic positions, keep in mind that:

0. Choosing the right lab & advisor is statistically MORE important than simply working hard and publishing papers during postdoc (esp. in the U.S.). However, working with an advisor who can write an excellent recommendation letter does NOT mean that you will also get prepared for a faculty life and become a great scientist. Your advisor should be a good mentor for this.

1. As the competition for faculty positions can easily reach over 1/300 and you have ~1 year before applying for positions, postdoc time often turns into a “race”. The worst part is that hard work does NOT necessarily lead to success.

2. Postdoc is NOT a must for being a faculty. Some students secure professor positions at the end of their PhDs (esp. at the top universities in the U.S.).

3. Postdoc lasts 1-3 years. If you’re a first-year postdoc and apply for faculty positions, committees will be OK with you showing your PhD work during interview. But starting from your 2nd year, they expect you to show successful postdoc results.

4. Some committees expect that a 3-year postdoc should complete as much work as a 5-year PhD student. It’s like a fast-track PhD.

5. Often (esp. in STEM), the expected number of “postdoc papers” is on average 1 paper per 1 year, unless the work is unusually complex. NOT 10 papers/year.

6. Publishing a lot of papers is normally viewed negatively. Coauthoring tens of papers will send a RED flag to the committee. For decent universities, it's (almost always) quality over quantity.

7. Doing a second postdoc is rarely helpful in landing a faculty position.

8. Ideally, postdoc should be in a different field than your PhD. Switching fields is viewed positively and can be helpful in landing a faculty position. But it is much more challenging because your time is very limited but you must do outstanding research. Also, I know many people who didn’t change fields but became faculties nonetheless.

Good luck!

Another figure-eight carbon nanobelt through fusion of two [5]helicene units! A relatively easier synthetic method and high dissymmetric factors. Paper was just published in @angew_chem: https://t.co/Ktm62PqArF @zhesuntju

@Francois_Gabbai @PosterRsc Thanks for your interest in our work. Yes, it is. We have achieved a triplet emission with a high quantum yield (33.7 %) and a long excited-state lifetime (6.54 microseconds).

[Pramod Raichure @RaichurePramod]

We have developed a design and synthetic strategy to achieve an AIE-based single-component solid-state white light-emitting polymeric material (without doping). which could lead to a revolutionary high-tech display in LED devices. #RSCPoster #RSCInorg #RSCMat #RSCPosterLive

@flowithefish @PosterRsc Yes, herein we have developed a design and synthesis strategy for tuning white light emission of non-conjugated polymer by integrating two different monomers.
i) Select two different emissive vinyl substituted monomers.
ii) Polymerize them by changing their equivalent ratios.

[Tansu Yegen @TansuYegen]

Great design
