最近的报告呼吁改变博士后科学家和工程师的培训。我们测试的假设，主张的做法，使博士后研究人员的经验和生产力的可衡量的差异，从一个大规模的调查数据。我们发现，结构化的监督和专业发展机会与广泛的积极成果相关;与薪酬相关的措施，相比之下，几乎没有量化的好处。在任命之初就写研究/职业规划的博士后比没有写的人的工作效率高23%。教学经验，接触非学术职业，以及在提案写作和项目管理方面的培训也与多种积极成果相关。
Recent reports have called for changes to the training of postdoctoral scientists and engineers. We tested the hypothesis that the practices advocated make a measurable difference in the experiences and productivity of postdoctoral researchers using data from a large-scale survey. We found that structured oversight and professional development opportunities are associated with a broad range of positive outcomes; compensation-related measures, in contrast, have few quantifiable benefits. Postdocs who wrote research/career plans at the start of their appointments were 23% more productive than those did not. Teaching experiences, exposure to non-academic careers, and training in proposal writing and project management were also associated with multiple positive outcomes.
