=========================================================================

THE SCIENTIST is conducting a survey of life as a postdoc and we need your
help. If you are in a non-tenured or non-permanent postdoctoral position
in an academic, research or government institution, click here to give us
your opinions

http://infopoll.net/live/surveys/s26944.htm

Some postdocs find their positions rewarding; however others are
dissatisfied and disillusioned. Where do you fall in the spectrum?
Empowered or powerless? Well compensated or impoverished? Open
communication or existing in a vacuum? PI helpful or difficult?

Help us to help you and countless others by giving us your take on
everything from the quality of your training and mentoring to your
compensation and social life.

Take the survey -- Make a difference and be heard!

Previous years' surveys have been widely read and quoted, and helped many
postdocs to measure the quality of their own positions against others.

An analysis of the results we obtain will be published in The Scientist,
February 14, 2005 issue. All those who respond to our survey
by Tuesday, January 4, 2005 will be entered in a drawing for a 20 GB Apple
iPod.

Please let your fellow postdocs know about this survey...the more
responses we receive the more valuable the results will be.

With best wishes
THE SCIENTIST
