Study On The U.S. Postdoctoral System

The postdoctoral system came into being in 1876. Its birth is a natural process and it makes a great contribution to U.S. science and technology. Now, the U.S. postdoctoral system get mature, completed and its actualized form, postdoctoral research fund and managed system revealed particular characters and deserve to be learned by the postdoctoral system in our country. The aim of my dissertation is to get a full review and understand of the U.S. postdoctoral system. It would provide data for studying further U.S. postdoctoral system and help for china's postdoctoral system.Taking the theory of pedagogy as reference, on the basis of methods on history , documentation, comparison, this thesis analyses the U.S. postdoctoral system about why it come to being ,how it shapes, what it is today , what it is limitation , and what we can use for reference etc. this dissertation analyses the reasons of the U.S. postdoctoral system forms ,discusses the course how it develop, introduces the present situation of the postdoctoral fellows, explores the characters and the limitations of the U.S. postdoctoral system. In the end, this dissertation suggests several inspirations through summary , analysis, comparison , evaluation of the two ( China vs U.S.) countries' postdoctoral systems.The dissertation exhibited that U.S. postdoctoral system has accumulated large experience and has its own characteristic. It has a relative effective method in implementing, funding, management and so on. But further development of U.S. postdoctoral system would be constrained by many factors and face many challenges for its own non-government keynote and self-determination. We should take it as reference.
