postdoc
somebody who has recently completed a phd and has no idea what do with their life after discovering they are completely unemployable. anyone with the t-tle “post doc” is a bright intellectual person without direction who is killing time waiting for the right job opportunity.
she was a postdoc at the university for ten years before she discovered that she had to find a permanent job to pay for the kitty litter to keep her family together.
a postdoc is a ph.d. holder who has not been able to secure a stable academic position and therefore sticks around in different labs. a postdoc often lives off soft money in a series of 2-/3-year appointments, until he or she lands a tenure-track position, leaves academia for an industry job, finds a room in the parents’ bas-m-nt, or commit suicide in despair.
jane: “you know, something’s eating away that leftover m-ffins on the table. must be mice or roaches hiding in this lab.”
tom: “no, that’s our postdoc john.”
