Question 1: What is a postdoc? What is the difference between a postdoc and a doctorate? It is easy to misunderstand that a postdoc is a degree above a doctorate; in fact, a postdoctoral station is a workstation with mobility.

Any qualified doctorate can apply to become a postdoctoral fellow at a nationally certified postdoctoral mobile station. During the period, he or she will do corresponding research projects and can leave the station after the expiration of the term.

In order to further improve my country's postdoctoral system and encourage postdoctoral researchers to work hard and make greater achievements in scientific research, the 13th meeting of the National Postdoctoral Management Committee decided to allow postdoctoral researchers to leave the station after the expiration of their term and their work reaches certain standards. Postdoctoral researchers (generally two years) are awarded a "Postdoctoral Certificate".

So postdoctoral is actually a kind of job, and having a doctorate is a necessary condition for applying to become a postdoctoral. Question 2: What is a postdoctoral degree? It is an academic title that indicates that the educational level and academic level of the recipient have reached the prescribed standards. Degree points in my country There are three levels: bachelor's degree, master's degree, and doctoral degree; "postdoctoral" is not a degree, but refers to a doctoral degree holder who is allowed to enter the postdoctoral research station to engage in scientific research. The bachelor's degree is awarded by institutions of higher learning authorized by the State Council, and the master's degree and doctorate are awarded by the State Council. Awarded by colleges and universities and scientific research institutions. Undergraduate graduates from colleges and universities with excellent academic performance and reaching the required academic level are awarded a bachelor's degree; graduate students from colleges and universities and scientific research institutions, or those with equivalent academic qualifications as graduates, are awarded a master's degree (Ph.D. ) degree course examination and thesis defense, those who pass the examination and reach the prescribed academic level will be awarded a master's degree (doctoral degree). The degree-granting institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions will issue the award after the degree evaluation committee makes a decision to award the degree. Give corresponding degree certificates to degree recipients. For outstanding scholars or famous social activists at home and abroad, after being nominated by the degree-granting unit and approved by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, an honorary doctorate can be awarded. Question 3: What is the difference between a doctorate and a postdoctoral fellow? The highest degree is the highest level you can get as a student (doctoral students in some countries also have working positions, such as Germany). A postdoc is a work or semi-work experience after graduating from a doctoral degree, or after obtaining a doctorate. It’s not a degree, it’s just an experience. In developed countries, where postdocs originate, many PhDs find it difficult to find a fixed job position after graduation, and when they are ready to fight for a fixed job position, they go to the unit they want to work in (usually a university or other scientific research institution). ), engaged in certain research work, this kind of experience is called postdoctoral. In our country, it is almost completely different. In form, it is more like a postdoctoral education. You need to enter the so-called postdoctoral workstation, and you will be issued an experience certificate after leaving the station. One thing is clear: the highest degree in almost all countries, including ours, is a doctorate, and postdoctoral is just a kind of work experience (although it is more like an education in our country, it is still classified as work experience). Question 4: Postdoctoral is just a kind of work experience. What does a postdoctoral fellow do? It is not a degree. It usually refers to a doctorate holder who is allowed to enter the postdoctoral research station to engage in scientific research. It can also be said that postdoctoral fellows refer to a kind of work experience, but there are also some people who do not have a doctorate abroad. Postdoctoral researchers, so postdoctoral is more precisely temporary scientific research work experience. In 1876 (Year C), Johns Hopkins University in the United States established a research fund to support outstanding young scholars in better institutions. Engaged in scientific research under the conditions of research. Since 4 of the 20 people funded by the initial fund had obtained doctorates, they were called "postdoctoral fellows" from 1983 to 1984. Nobel Prize winners and Chinese physicists. The scholar Mr. Li Zhengdao wrote to Comrade *** twice, suggesting that China implement a postdoctoral system.

In May 1984, Comrade *** met with Li Zhengdao at the Great Hall of the People and listened carefully to his opinions and plans on the implementation of the postdoctoral system. He immediately said: "This is a new method and a system for cultivating scientific and technological talents.

"In July 1985, the State Council approved the establishment of a postdoctoral research station and a pilot postdoctoral system plan - the postdoctoral system was officially established in our country.

Question 5: What does postdoc mean?

Postdoctoral is not a degree. Postdoctoral refers to a PhD holder who is allowed to enter the postdoctoral research mobile station to engage in scientific research.

It can also be said that postdoc refers to a kind of work experience.

Question 6: What is the difference between a PhD and a postdoc?

A doctorate is a degree, but a postdoc is not. 1. "Postdoc" indicates an experience.

Doctorate is the highest degree. "Postdoctoral" cannot be regarded as a higher degree than doctorate. Postdoctoral researchers cannot be awarded any other title of degree. At the same time, "postdoctoral" is not a professional technical or administrative position.

2. Postdoctoral researchers are mainly engaged in scientific research, and this kind of scientific research work is often exploratory, pioneering and innovative in nature.

3. Postdoctoral researchers are official state staff, not students.

During their postdoctoral research period, their length of service must be calculated in the same way as other regular employees. In addition to enjoying preferential treatment stipulated by the state, they also enjoy the same benefits as regular employees of the unit.
