<blockquote><font face="Arial" size="-1">Some postdocs find their
positions rewarding, while others are dissatisfied and disillusioned.
Where do you fall in the spectrum? Empowered or powerless? Well
compensated or impoverished? Open communication or existing in a
vacuum? Is your PI helpful or difficult?</font></blockquote>

countless others by giving us your take on everything, from the
quality of your training and mentoring to your compensation and social
life.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote><font face="Arial" size="-1">Last year's survey, published
in February 2003, has been widely read and quoted, and has helped many
postdocs to measure the quality of their positions against others.
By bringing this survey to the attention of your peers, we can improve
on this even further.</font></blockquote>
