Postdocs

Many LANL postdocs are very smart and come from good universities.
The problem in finding a job after LANL, for postdocs, seems to be that, while they know how to compete well in doing science, they do not have adequate training in competing well in getting jobs in science, and, most importantly, they have not establshed an internal metric for judging themselves on how good they are at getting jobs.

So, they are beaten out by people who may be worse at doing science but who are better at getting jobs.

We can train them quickly to compete well in getting jobs either at LANL or elsewhere.
