Thread: problem in post-doc

Hi,
I am currently a post-doctoral fellow in a high-profile lab. However I didnt find my project progressing and at the same time didnt feel better to work here. I would like to move somewhereelse. I guess the people to whom i am applying would definitely want to know why i am leaving in a short period of time (a year) from such a lab, though it is common that people leave labs for their second post-doctoral job or in case they dont like the present lab much. I wonder how this kind of situation is treated in the science society, especially in US..Any advice on how to handle this?

Thanks,
Nice weekend,
EK

Dear EK: Whomever among your superiors you have the most confidence in.... Were I you, I'd tell them pretty much what you're posting here. You don't have to tell anyone you posted it, but the message is good, I think, just about the way you've already phrased it.
