Postdoc positions
A postdoctoral position, often called a postdoc, is a temporary research role that follows the completion of a doctoral degree (Ph.D.). It allows researchers to deepen their expertise, develop new skills, and contribute to specialized projects under the guidance of experienced scientists. Postdocs are common in academia and sometimes in industry, serving as a bridge between graduate studies and independent research or faculty positions. Typically lasting 1-3 years, these roles help researchers build their professional reputation, publish work, and prepare for their next career step.
