Being halfway through my second year (of five), I don't have much experience of postdocs, but here it varies from "We want you to do research in project <x>" to "Do whatever you want" to "We liked you as a PhD student so please keep working in this project for 2-4 years more". Maybe the problems in this article are more specific to bigger universities or even to the US? --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.

I haven't experienced it either, but my dept. has very few postdocs and the environment is very collaborative in nature. But, I would imagine that it would absolutely suck to develop an independent direction and not be able to take it with you, or even interview on that basis, when it comes down to setting up your own lab. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:885847611] in Man, postd...
