More strategic use of the post-doctoral position
The number of post-doctoral researchers at the research institutions has risen dramatically in recent years. According to an analysis by the Nordic Institute for Studies in Innovation, Research and Education (NIFU), only one-fourth of these post-doctoral researchers will have obtained a permanent academic position after five to six years.
“A post-doctoral fellowship should primarily help the fellowship-holders to qualify for a top scientific career. Consequently, there should be a reasonable correlation between the number that go down the post-doctoral path and the number that can be employed in permanent academic positions. More strategic use of the post-doctoral position will make future research careers more predictable and attractive. We will therefore start a dialogue with the institutions on the need for post-doctoral positions,” says Mr Hallén.
In future, the Research Council will require that the contract between the fellowship-holder and the degree-conferring institution includes a development plan and plans for academic mentoring
