Isolated in the Lab: Examining Dissatisfaction with Postdoctoral Appointments

Jennifer M. Miller and Maryann P. Feldman

The Journal of Higher Education, 2015, vol. 86, issue 5, 697-724

Abstract: Dissatisfaction with postdoctoral appointments is associated with demographics, career goals, types of research, postdoc-advisor interaction, and program quality. Rather than a simple inverse relationship to dissatisfaction, the effect of program quality depends on the postdoc's autonomy to shape a research project, interaction with an advisor, and the advisor's commercialization-related activities.
