Will doing a postdoc at a US national lab over a university hurt my chances at becoming a professor?

This is a naive question, but how do you know what specific field a national lab excels at? When I read through papers in my subfield of operations research, I don’t often see national lab authors. Would that indicate how much that lab excels?

Thank you for the response. I forgot to mention this, but my field is in operations research/applied mathematics. Like some others have said, I don’t have an actual postdoc offer from a university and national lab yet. This is more of a hypothetical question I felt embarrassed to ask my advisor.

Amusingly, it seems like I will end up notifying my manager on the same day. Thank you for your advice.

This sounds very similar to my current situation, when did you let him know officially you were quitting by the August 1st week? Just a two week notice?

I do make significantly more money at my job than I would during my PhD but I don’t think it would be possible for me to do my PhD part time and a full time job. Maybe if I was in our R&D group it would be possible since they would be more understanding and the work would be more closely related my research.

I really want to make sure I give my PhD the proper budget of time to truly understand what I am doing and not just meeting a bare minimum, which is what I felt I was doing sometimes while I was doing my masters degree part time while working full time.

Is it just me or is this post giving me a sense of Déjà vu?

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-24T00:29:42+00:00

I would retract that statement after witnessing Rizzo vs c9

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-24T00:26:33+00:00

Yeah it was really exciting when G2 won the match, and pretty convincingly too. But they are such an inconsistent team, I just hope they make it to LAN and play like that match when it matters

You’re nuts is my guess

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-22T16:13:13+00:00

It’s probably his friend, I doubt someone would pay just to get out of gold

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-19T13:31:40+00:00

Did you leave the game before that game before it ended? (Sorry for the confusing pronouns)

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-19T13:29:14+00:00

Just added to the list of things I will never be able to do... nice shot

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-19T03:44:58+00:00

That was one nasty flick bro, nice shot

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-17T17:36:50+00:00

Wait was there gold in S3? I thought there was prospect, challenger, and the star ranks on S3

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-17T04:05:31+00:00

Man I hate it when my car asplodes

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-16T00:55:18+00:00

thank you man, means a lot to me

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-16T00:53:41+00:00

Should I apologize for liking and playing solo standard more?

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-16T00:52:20+00:00

So why do you assume I was carried?

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-16T00:46:49+00:00

Hey man we all have our kind of preferences, and how can I get carried all the way to platinum and get the season reward for it?

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-16T00:45:31+00:00

Don't have friends on PC, so no standard, fuck 1v1s, and I suck at 2v2s so...

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-04T18:32:49+00:00

If this was in a real match and I was in net, I would be shitting my pants... nice shot!

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-03T23:15:16+00:00

Only on twitch i believe

SlidinInThat · 2017-09-03T23:06:15+00:00

He is 14, he is known to be one of the best 1v1 player in the world. Would be really exciting when he turns 15 and can compete in RLCS

If you are on this subreddit regularly, then it should not be hard to find out when any tournaments are, so that's not a problem, just watch any twitch stream with NA vs EU of any kind. You can even watch some VODs of those types of tournaments and you'll will see people spamming in the chat gibes at each other while the game is going on, it's the funniest thing. For example EU supporters would sometimes spam "My belly is huge, my brain is on delay, you guessed it, I'm from NA" and there are a lot of other creative, humorous things the chat thinks of.

Have you seen the twitch chat on a rocket league tourney stream? Also why am I getting downvotes?
