发帖数: 155 | 1 I am a PhD student and always thinking to get a job in industry.
I wonder if post-doc is necessary before landing a job in pharmaceutical
companies regardless of economic situation. Let's say green card issue is
resolved by the time of graduation.
What's the difference between post-doc at school and in companies? Does post
-doc in companies help to get the job in industry? Does summer student
intern help to get a job in industry?
Thanks for your input! | k******n

Green card, huge plus.
Postdoc in industry, big plus.
Contractor/temp industry, a great way to prepare for permanent position.

However, I don't hear many people doing post-doc in industry. Is it because
post-doc is mainly for people who eventually want to land a job in academia,
so post-doc in industry is not as good as the ones at school?
In other words, how is "post-doc in industry" defined here? In my opinion, "
post-doc" is something temporary. Why do companies bother to offer such a
position if there is no real job opening. Companies do not have obligation

For Chem and Bio, postdoc has now evolved to be a source of cheap labors for
both industry and academia, most likely due to the rule of supply and
demand. Finding a post-doc position in industry is not easy, although not as
difficult as finding a permanent one. Company offers such temp positions so
that they can: 1. more flexible in hiring. 2. see if personality match. 3.

发帖数: 155 | 5 I see what you mean. People who work as post-doc in industry still have chance to转正. Not all of them are aiming for returning to academia.
People who have previous post-doc experience in industry might have better chance than the ones who have worked as post-doc in academia, to get positions in industry, is that correct?
Your info. has been very useful!
Thanks a bunch! |
