Abstract

The article focuses on postdoctoral skill sets that can be utilized competitively in non-academic careers. It states that while 46 percent of postdoctoral students (postdocs) believed they would continue on to tenure-track academic positions in 2012, 21 percent were able to do so. It mentions websites that can help postdocs track their progress, including the Researcher Development Framework at http://scim.ag/1IVhLtb and the myIDP website, and talks about different fields for postdocs.
