[edit]

The section on jobs cited data from 2015, so I added a note from an article in Science.org, but this is not my area of expertise. The section would benefit from a significant update from someone knowledgable. CheersAnyMouse (talk) 23:28, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Article title

[edit]

I don't think that "Postdoctoral research" is an appropriate title for this article, since it is about the position rather than the research itself. I see the point that "Postdoctoral scholar" is mostly used in the humanities. The recent National Academies report uses "Postdoctoral researcher"; perhaps this is a good title?

Not sure why the current article name is "inappropriate". To be honest I'd say there is no difference in naming Postdoctoral research or Postdoctoral researcher; both reflect the content accurately as they are intrinsically linked. The problem however with the later can be that we may end up with tautological clumsiness in the lead à la ′A Postdoctoral researcher is a researcher who conducts postdoctoral research.′ Surly we'd like to avoid this.

I think it's important to be precise in our article titles. Awkwardness is not inevitable; an alternate lead sentence might be "A postdoctoral researcher is a person conducting academic research after the completion of their doctoral studies as part of a temporary appointment."
