Science journal The Scientist named the Pennington Biomedical Research Center as the fourth best place to work for young postdoctoral scientists, ranking among medical research facilities across the nation.
The Scientist announced this year’s top 10 list online today and will feature more about the study in the journal’s April issue.
Pennington, which operates under the LSU System, was acknowledged for its Education Department that works with postdoctorals to help them develop their careers, according to a Pennington news release. The study included a number of criteria including quality of facilities and job benefits.
The journal also cited Pennington’s part in founding the National Postdoc Association, according to the release.
“Postdoctoral researchers are vital to our institution,” Executive Director of Pennington Biomedical Steven Haymsfield said in the release. “They bring new ideas, enthusiasm and motivation, and these postdocs create the next generation of scientists who will work in Louisiana and throughout the world.”
