For doctoral program students the question is "isn't the PhD enough" and if you really need a postdoctoral fellowship to boost your research career? Several cases where PhD students may opt for a postdoc are presented. While the doctor of philosophy or doctorate degree is supposed to train you for jobs in research and academia, more work is sometimes needed in a "finishing school" to hone one's research skills to get a faculty position or professor job in universities, research institutes or colleges.
