Any reason why you think janelia farm is staff-heavy model? From talks with people there I still have the impression it is PI based. A staff scientist there might just be a senior postdoc which is still different
- sndean 9y agoI guess I didn't mean staff-heavy, more "few grad students and postdocs." E.g., [1], instead of outwardly similar labs with a dozen or more postdocs. [1] https://www.janelia.org/lab/stern-lab/members https://www.janelia.org/lab/stern-lab/members
- leemailll 9y agoJanelia farm sets its rule to make small labs from the beginning, and postdocs there get better pay and welfare, ie more money for each headcount. However they recently just downgraded some part of the welfare for postdocs. Also they kind of push for high impact papers, combined with they don't have a graduate school, they are more inclined to be small labs. But I also heard some people find ways to circumvent such limitation.
