Why A Postdoctoral Researcher Position Pays Less Than A Librarian Salary

Why A Postdoctoral Researcher Position Pays Less Than A Librarian Salary

By: Isaiah Hankel, PhD

Postdocs are not valuable in academia. It’s simple economics. The supply of postdocs in academia far exceeds the demand for them. This makes postdocs essentially worthless in academia. The data don’t lie. Postdocs make less than librarians, mail carriers, and garbage collectors. This means that if you’re an academic postdoc, professionally you are worth less than librarians, mail carriers, and garbage collectors. The end. This can't be denied. The good news is that in industry you are worth much more. The only way to escape a dead end postdoc is to develop an intelligent job search strategy. But before you do this, you need to drop your poor academic mindset. You need to change your perspective and change what you value. Here are 3 stories of people who did changed their perspectives, took action, and got the industry positions they wanted.

By: Isaiah Hankel, PhD

Too many PhDs and PhD students become mentally weak in academia. These highly intelligent individuals get caught in the vicious circle of accepting less than they’re worth and feeling entitled to something better.

How you answer these questions will determine whether or not you become mentally weak in academia.

By: Nikolett Biel, PhD

The recruiting process is an important part of transitioning into industry and should not be ignored.
