This 2014 National Academies' Consensus Study builds on the 2000 report Enhancing the Postdoctoral Experience for Scientists and Engineers, which assessed the postdoctoral experience and provided principles, action points, and recommendations to enhance that experience. The Postdoctoral Experience Revisited reexamines postdoctoral programs in the United States, focusing on how postdocs are being guided and managed, how institutional practices have changed, and what happens to postdocs after they complete their programs.
