Abstract EN
Increasing numbers of postdoctoral scholars are pursuing diverse career paths that require broad skill sets to ensure success.
However, most postdoctoral professional learning and development initiatives are designed for academic careers and rarely include professional skills needed to flourish in nonacademic settings.
The purpose of this systematic review was to comprehensively examine and synthesize evidence of professional learning and development pertaining to postdoctoral scholars.
The systematic search resulted in 7,571 citations, of which 162 full-text papers were reviewed and 28 studies met our inclusion criteria and were included in this review.
This paper synthesizes and classifies studies exploring professional learning and development of postdoctoral scholars.
The findings may be used to inform the objectives of professional learning and development initiatives for postdoctoral scholars and contribute to a more rigorous approach to studying professional learning and development.
