The leap from student to postdoctoral researcher requires a shift in mindset. You're no longer just absorbing knowledge; you're expected to contribute to it significantly. It's exciting but also comes with a high level of responsibility. One aspect of this journey that's particularly interesting is how post doctorate supervisors treat you.
his period is about deepening your expertise, becoming a recognized expert in your chosen field, and preparing for the eventual leap into a more autonomous role in academia or industry. It's a time for serious tech research, where the work you do can set the tone for the future contributions you'll make to your field.

Discover the untold secrets of thriving as a Post Doc and learn how to turn challenges into opportunities: ua-cam.com/video/xLVTIWJa_gk/v-deo.html
As a full professor at an R1 university in the U.S., I have my grad students and post docs watch this channel - full of insights and much needed knowledge.
You should do a video on presenting posters!
We weren't allowed to apply for our own grants as PI.....you needed funding to get a lectureship but needed a lectureship to get funding. We also only got 80% of the calculated full economic cost. Our postdoc forums got shut down as we all complained so much.
We had the same regulation and were told the 80% is for OUR benefit. For all the freedom we would get having 20% "off". In reality, after teaching, meetings, supervision, and other time consuming tasks, this 80% regulation meant, I would have been able to devote maybe 2 days worth of research work to the project I was hired for. So that freedom was the freedom to work 200% for the price of 80. Needless to say, we all felt extremely valued as colleagues /s.
Our early career meetings were also cancelled and we were formally asked to not talk "negatively" about our work life to phd students because it would cause a "bad atmosphere".
On a brighter note, though, the department I eventually ended up at in my first non-postdoc position was much better and treated postdocs and phd students as actual human colleagues with some intrinsic human value. It was refreshing.
Great advices
Love your style Andy 😍🌈 (and the content of course!)
After realizing I would never have enough grayhairs retire from my field to leave an adjunct professorship I decided not to go on to a PhD.
You can also go to industry depending on the subject you studied.
My PhD is pretty academic, so I’m thinking of doing a 1 year “shit” post doc for someone more industry adjacent as a pivot.
Your Beard is impressive....going to take years for me to reach the Phd status for beards...Congratulations
Did I hallucinate this or didn’t he once give beard tutorials?
Our accounting practices are incomprehensible. Imagine you downloaded last quarter's bank statement today and then downloaded the same statement again in a week's time and it was completely different. That's what happens in your previous institution.
It's predominantly incompetence; our lab has had occasional windfalls due to mistakes, including one that doubled our grant funding. There's nobody at the wheel.
Your Videos are super hepful in a way but I don't think I am the only one experiencing massive FOMO on AI tools right now. I am spending more time on researching possibilities with AI tools than on my actual research as I fear to waste time. And this in itself could be considered a waste of time
Andy I wanna ask you , I started writing my literature review I followed your tools which helped me a lot thank you , but there is a problem I wrote every single word my own depending on several papers but still the online ai detector, detects a percentage of ai I don't get it why !!! And then I tried to paste older paper writing from 1989 and it detects ai as well in this paper 😂 that's hilarious
There are two typos in the list: treadmil->treadmill and nomatic->nomadic.
How on Earth did that happen?
In my field post docs don't exist.
So people get professorships or leave straight away after PhD?
the first advice and the only one you need is just don't do any postdoc :)
oh how I hate academia!!!!!!
I find academia nauseating.
The trauma never leaves you
*If you're a Post-doc, you're flagged as incompetent and/or a failure*
Sorry....
By who?
@@Lavabug It means your research and/or publications and/or your advisor was not good enough, so you have to do a Post-Doc to get that. Everyone knows this.
That's nonsense. It heavily depends on the field. In many fields doing 1-2 postdocs is the absolute norm before applying for a PI position. The problem is when it becomes a treadmill.
@@luigiacerbi6202 Completely disagree.
@@johnsmith1953xthat isn't true. Every successful academic in my field in the last 30 years had to do at least 1 postdoc. Even the Ivy league graduates with the best connections. The last time anyone got hired for a permanent job out of grad school was in the 1970's. Physics.
