What is a post-doc?
A post-doctoral appointment is temporary and viewed as being preparatory for a full-time academic and/or research career.
Beyond that, the Association of American Universities defines a post-doctoral appointment as follows:
* The appointee holds a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (such as an M.D. or Sc.D.) in an appropriate field.
* The appointment involves substantial full-time research or scholarship.
* The appointment is not part of a full-time clinical training program (i.e. not a research rotation in a hospital residency program).
* The appointee works under the supervision of a senior scholar or mentor.
