Hello
I probably have a little strange question about specialization. I have the opportunity to defend my thesis in 2 areas - medicine or biology. If I want to go to a postdoc on a biological area, can I do it with a medical specialty? And should specialization coincide with the future postdoc, or does it depend on the desire of the manager?
Thank)
Hi. I would first try to translate. Defending thesis here you mean starting a PhD in that area or you already finished and you mean contacting examiners in these areas?
If you have an opportunity to do biology and want a postdoc in biology, why do you want to do in Medicine? However I believe doing postdoc in a slightly different specialisation is not uncommon.
It is quite common for people to do postdocs in an area different from their PhD.
Medicine and Biology are intimately connected anyway. I imagine some biology postdocs would be needing a medical background, especially if dissection of an animal is required for example.
Thanks for answers)
A few more questions. How important are the articles, how many of them are desirable to have and in which journals (starting with some impact factor)?
To what extent can different works be combined (for example, to conduct patient admission and research activities)? Is this acceptable?
