The National Postdoctoral Association published Advancing Postdoc Women Guidebook. Many expert co-authors contributed to this book which provides essential information on programs and resources available to postdoc women as they progress in their careers. The postdoctoral position - a temporary period of training and mentored research following the receipt of a doctoral degree - represents a critical transition point in which the numbers of women scientists and engineers declines significantly. And although the focus is on postdocs, the information included is also pertinent to graduate students/faculty in STEM.
