It wasn’t perfect — in many ways, it wasn’t even good. By the end of my graduate studies, I had hoped to be a proficient programmer and an established scientist with multiple high impact papers.

In my eyes, it was a failure.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/07/09/done-is-better-than-perfect-overcoming-phd-perfectionism#more-18055" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div>

the end of your PhD – so what next? There are many options open to you; one obvious one is to apply for a postdoc position. You should think carefully about what you want to do and not just pursue this through inertia. I have supervised many engineering PhDs and some postdocs in my 32 years as an academic. As Head of University College London’s Doctoral School, I oversee the environment and policy for 6000 doctoral candidates and 3200 postdocs.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/06/25/what-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc#more-17991" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"><div class="wpn-tags-list standard-teaser cleared"><h3>Tags:</h3><ul class="tags"><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/academia/" rel="tag">academia</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/david-bogle/" rel="tag">david bogle</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/end-of-phd/" rel="tag">end of phd</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/independence/" rel="tag">independence</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/london/" rel="tag">London</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/look-for-in-a-postdoc/" rel="tag">look for in a postdoc</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/phd/" rel="tag">PhD</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/postdoc/" rel="tag">postdoc</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/reasons-to-do-a-postdoc/" rel="tag">reasons to do a postdoc</a></li></ul></div> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-17991" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"><a class="comments-link" href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/06/25/what-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc/#respond" title="Comment on What should you get from being a postdoc?">add a comment</a></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tell-a-friend?id=17991">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-17991"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F06%2F25%2Fwhat-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc%2F">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=What+should+you+get+from+being+a+postdoc%3F+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F06%2F25%2Fwhat-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc%2F">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F06%2F25%2Fwhat-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc%2F&title=What+should+you+get+from+being+a+postdoc%3F">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F06%2F25%2Fwhat-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc%2F&title=What+should+you+get+from+being+a+postdoc%3F">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F06%2F25%2Fwhat-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc%2F">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F06%2F25%2Fwhat-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc%2F&title=What+should+you+get+from+being+a+postdoc%3F">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F06%2F25%2Fwhat-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc%2F">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F06%2F25%2Fwhat-should-you-get-from-being-a-postdoc%2F&title=What+should+you+get+from+being+a+postdoc%3F">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article> <article> <div id="wpn-post-17949" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-4 wpn-even wpn-alt wpn-author-jack-leeming wpn-has-excerpt wpn-has-more-link wpn-category-business-2 wpn-category-career-paths wpn-category-funding-2 wpn-category-research-2 wpn-category-us wpn-post-tag-david-rubenson wpn-post-tag-elevator-pitch wpn-post-tag-engineers wpn-post-tag-entrepreneur-pitch wpn-post-tag-funding wpn-post-tag-funding-pitch wpn-post-tag-fundraising wpn-post-tag-life-scientists wpn-post-tag-ned-perkins wpn-post-tag-pitch wpn-post-tag-pitch-perfect wpn-post-tag-wendie-johnson cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2018-06-20T13:00:16+00:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2018-06-20">20 Jun 2018 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="13:00:16+0000"> 13:00 GMT</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/06/20/want-to-find-investors-for-your-research-idea-change-the-way-you-pitch/'>Want to find investors for your research idea?

A biologist, for example, might hope to create a new line of health care products. Many use special grants or family resources to establish small companies. However, given the enormous challenges in the healthcare market, virtually every nascent enterprise needs outside funding; whether from wealthy “angel investors,” venture capital, or investment from large pharmaceutical and device developers.  <a href="/naturejobs/2018/06/20/want-to-find-investors-for-your-research-idea-change-the-way-you-pitch#more-17949" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"><div class="wpn-tags-list standard-teaser cleared"><h3>Tags:</h3><ul class="tags"><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/david-rubenson/" rel="tag">David Rubenson</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/elevator-pitch/" rel="tag">elevator pitch</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/engineers/" rel="tag">engineers</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/entrepreneur-pitch/" rel="tag">entrepreneur pitch</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/funding/" rel="tag">funding</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/funding-pitch/" rel="tag">funding pitch</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/fundraising/" rel="tag">fundraising</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/life-scientists/" rel="tag">life scientists</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/ned-perkins/" rel="tag">ned perkins</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/pitch/" rel="tag">pitch</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/pitch-perfect/" rel="tag">pitch perfect</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tag/wendie-johnson/" rel="tag">wendie johnson</a></li></ul></div> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-17949" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"><a class="comments-link" href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/06/20/want-to-find-investors-for-your-research-idea-change-the-way-you-pitch/#respond" title="Comment on Want to find investors for your research idea?

class="thumbnail " width="150" /></a><p>There’s a difference between mentoring and doling out to-do lists. This is something I’ve learned over the past year, my first as a mentor. Mentoring undergrads became part of my job only recently – in the past, research came first. Most advisors value research outcomes over mentoring, and departments certainly place more value on publications. Before this past year, I was used to just a single undergrad working in my lab, and I thought of them as worker bees, not as future colleagues.  <a

were less likely than were white men to hold prestigious last-author spots. And while all scientists tended to land more last-author spots as their careers went on, that trend was slower for women and minorities. “There’s a lack of progression for those groups,” says Bruce Weinberg, a co-author of the study and an economist at Ohio State University in Columbus.  <a
