A postdoc, or a position conducting postdoctoral research within part of an established scientist's lab, gives scientists a chance to build their research programs, learn new techniques, and get their feet wet at grant writing. It's a time to seque from being a graudate student to an independent scientist -- a time to grow into a new professional identity.
Begin considering potential postdocs early, while you're working on your dissertation. Finding a postdoc is much more informal than applying to graduate school. Networking is an important way of learning about postdoctoral opportunities. While some positions are advertised in professional newsletters and websites, others are advertised by word-of-mouth, which is why good networking skills are essential to finding the postdoc that suits your needs. Remember that many postdocs open up late in the year, so network throughout the year. Sometimes unexpected funding or a postdoc taking another position can lead to new postdoc opportunities.
