      Vantaggi

      For postdoctoral researchers, placement in a national lab can be a great learning experience. However, any positives of the post-doc and career advancement are due to the specific project and mentor and not to Oak Ridge's management of the program.

      Svantaggi

      The salaries and benefits they provide to very skilled, recent phds is completely inadequate. Post-docs can often just be treated as 'free labor' if they are not proactive with their mentors and diligent about their own professional development. ORAU does not advocate for the postdocs or take an interest in the mentoring process, or progress of a postdoc's project after they accept the position.

      Vantaggi

      The pros heavily depend on your host facility, program manager and mentor. My mentor is great and allows me lots of freedom to do my work and develop my skills. Depending on your host facility you get to work with federal agencies and potentially get connections for a permanent job.

      Svantaggi

      We are considered not employed, but a "participant in a program". Our salary is a taxable income. There is no benefits other than an offered health insurance that costs hundreds each month out of your salary for minimal coverage. There is no PTO. You have to ask permission if you want to take a day off or go on a trip. Any problems with the management goes unnoticed and you get told by ORISE to speak to the program manager even if they are the problem.
