- Title
The Increased Frequency and Duration of the Postdoctorate Career Stage.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article examines the increase in the number of postdoctoral appointees in science and engineering at U.S. universities. Two dimensions of postdoctoral training have led to the dramatic increase in the number of postdocs populating university campuses. One involves the increasing number of new doctors of philosophy taking a first postdoctoral position, including individuals who received their doctoral training abroad as well as individuals from fields that traditionally did not include postdoctoral work as a component of training. The other involves a lengthening duration of individuals' postdoctoral experience.
