Postdoc classifications

Sunil has a funny classification of the types of postdocs you should avoid.  If he avoided all those types, including category #4, I wonder if he ever gets to talk to any postdocs?

“Hey, what’s up? Things going well? How’s research and the job search?”

“Not really. I’m stuck working on some papers for publication”

“Isn’t that good?”

“No. They aren’t going to be Cell papers, which means they won’t get me a job, which means I’ve wasted the past five years. This area of research has no future.”
