Argonne ranked in top 15 best places to be a postdoc by the Scientist magazine

Argonne, Feb. 23, 2009
Argonne was recently ranked 13th best place for postdocs to work by life sciences magazine, The Scientist. The magazine's seventh annual Best Places to Work for Postdocs survey recognizes this year's award winners as trailblazers in bettering postdocs' professional experience among hundreds of labs and institutions.

"Educating future scientists is of the utmost importance in fulfilling the Department of Energy's overarching mission of advancing the national, economic and energy security of the United States," said Harold Myron, Director of Argonne's Division of Educational Programs. "We can truly aspire to continued success for Argonne and its postdocs and help our nation address some of the grand challenges in energy and the environment."

The survey finds that top ranked institutions, such as Argonne, have found creative ways to improve postdoc benefits, while also fostering a thriving atmosphere. Argonne's ranking in the survey jumped seven slots, from 20 to 13, in one year (see "Best Places to Work for Postdocs -2008" related News Release). " Argonne works hard to continually improve the postdoc experience," added Myron. "We are honored to be recognized for our efforts and are thrilled by the progress we have made."

Acknowledging improvements that institutions make is an important part of the continuing effort to enhance the postdoctoral experience. "Postdocs are the lifeblood of academic science," said The Scientist Editor & Publisher Richard Gallagher. "Our survey is one of the few global efforts to assess their needs and desires and to recognize excellence in postdoc programs."

Postdoctoral Programs Coordinator Giselle Sandi said a key aspect of the success of Argonne's postdoctoral programs has been a commitment by the laboratory to create a rewarding and productive tenure for all of the approximately 150 postdocs currently working at the lab.

The Best Places to Work for Postdocs survey is published in the March issue of The Scientist.
