Really depends on the field. You should already know this if you're looking to do one.

If you aren't publishing a comfy 15+ publications/year you can forget about that tenure track position

Depends mostly on the field but you should aim for getting as much results as a whole PhD in your first postdoc years (2-3), if you are aiming for tenure track. This is assuming you have a very successful PhD already.
If you haven't done much in your PhD in the first place postdoc is a very bad choice.

>>8691026
It's field dependent, but for some fields that's only a slight exaggeration.

And really, citations are more important. If no one's citing any of those 15 articles, you aren't going to be a professor.

Ok how is this coming out of a PhD in ECE? Am I already behind for tenure track or is this reasonable if I do a postdoc?

>Research
>2 journal publications (1 has a couple citations)
>2 conference papers (1 has a couple citations)
>lots of conference/workshop presentations/"invited talks" due to active in involvement in industry (several with citations but not really tracked)

>Experience
>multi-year internships with NASA contractor and DoD Lab

>Teaching
>never TA'd
>did some guest lectures
>in "leadership role" in my lab during grad school for years "mentoring" students

What fucking field do you know of that you can publish 15+ papers / year in.

I'm waiting.

Theoretical high energy physics. Though 15 is probably not sustainable, 12 or so per year on average is average for people getting hired at good schools right now.

>Anybody here have experience with postdoctoral research?
Yeah.
>What's a reasonable amount of publications?
That depends entirely on your field, the country you are in, and the quality if your publications.

When I started my first post-doc, I had 7 first authorships, and an additional 3 coauthorships. But that's on the high side for my field, which is neuroscience. Typically, PhD students finish with anywhere between 1 and 5 publications.

Good thing you're on the high side. It is to my understanding that being typical isn't enough to get hired.

True, and sometimes being exceptional isn't enough either. Competition gets tougher the higher up you go.
