The population of postdoctoral researchers has little identity or support, yet is a vitally important sector in the research community. In 1996, the first interdisciplinary study of postdoctoral fellows in Canada and of Canadian postdoctoral fellows abroad was conducted. The aim was to determine basic demographics, job stress/satisfaction and work environment, and to assess the outlook for future careers using a variety of parameters. In this paper, the role that gender plays in the postdoctoral experience is examined: it is found that, although many aspects are commonly shared among all members of the postdoctoral population, female fellows still face gender-specific hurdles in their progression toward independent research careers.
