By Katie George Verified| University Affairs Verified What is a postdoc? This is a question I hear often. Outside of the world of academia (and sometimes even to those in academia) the postdoc may appear to be an elusive creature of myth and folklore. As noted by the National Postdoc Association in their “What’s a Postdoc” resource, “The world needs to know more about postdocs. Much more.” To most, they are known to be extremely intelligent researchers that are shackled to their labs and only escape briefly to write grant proposals.

For many postdoctoral fellows working at Canadian universities, this is the experience: long hours spent working in silos and isolation. A postdoctoral researcher’s identity within their institution can be ambiguous.
