2006年博士后最佳工作场所之影响因素

　　

生物通报道：2006年The Scientist杂志3月刊公布了年度“博士后最佳工作场所”调查，见2006年博士后最佳工作场所调查之排名，在这一排名中北美前三甲分别是：旧金山the J. David Gladstones Institutes、弗雷德哈金森癌症研究中心(Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center)和美国环境保护局；非北美地区是瑞士巴塞耳Friedrich Miescher生物医学研究所(Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research,FMI)、英国剑桥MRC分子生物学实验室（MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology ）和挪威卑尔根大学（University of Bergen）。

其中The J. David Gladstone Institutes从05年的12名一跃到第一主要是因为这一研究院非常注重博士后的需求，像优厚的薪酬、职工福利、导师，以及职业和专业发展等。在这各种影响因素中，排名如下：

Rank in North America in 2006	Rank in the US in 2005	Factor	Category	Rank outside North America in 2006	Rank outside the US in 2005
1	1	The training and experience I receive as a postdoc will be valuable to me in my future career.	Value of the Postdoc Experience	3	3
2	2	I have access to the books and journals I need for my research.	Quality of Facilities and Infastructure	1	1
3	4	My institution provides the equipment and supplies I need for my research.	Quality of Facilities and Infastructure	2	2
4	6	My institution provides full medical insurance for me and my family at an affordable rate.	Benefits	40	28
5	3	My principal investigator takes time to discuss the science behind the experiments and other work that I do.	Quality of Training and Mentoring	4	4
6	5	My principal investigator makes time available to discuss issues that arise in my research	Quality of Communication	5	5
7	7	I have learned much from my principal investigator about how to succeed as a scientist.	Quality of Training and Mentoring	23	15
8	13	The money I receive is adequate to cover my expenses and provide for reasonable leisure activities, considering the cost of living in my community.	Remuneration and Compensation	6	14
9	8	My principal investigator discusses my career outlook and available options and opportunities.	Career Development Opportunities	11	13
10	9	My principal investigator communicates expectations and feedback clearly.	Quality of Communication	19	7
25	34	There is no discrimination against postdocs based on their religious beliefs or ethnic background.	Equity	7	27
19	19	I can easily talk with other members of the lab about any problems that arise and they can talk with me.	Quality of Communication	8	17
23	-	I have opportunities to interact with high-quality researchers from other departments and institutions	Networking Opportunities	9	-
16	14	My institution supplies the technical support and services I need for my research.	Quality of Facilities and Infastructure	10	8

以上这些数据由The Scientist杂志对北美地区及非北美地区各机构博士后进行调查得到的统计，而在国内，有博士后流动站的大学不少（生物学类30个），然而在许多情况下要不就是各博士，博士后流动站之间“近亲繁殖”，要不就是博士对于博士后流动站的了解不足导致错误入站（比如前段时间接连发生的青年科学家自杀事件影响因素），所以随着国内生物科学的发展，增强交流，增加了解也是非常重要的。因此生物通人才市场就此对国内博士后工作场所进行网调，希望能提供更多信息以供交流。（生物通：张迪）
