Postdoctoral contracts in Europe typically last 1–3 years, often with the possibility of one renewal. Some countries limit the total duration of fixed-term academic contracts (e.g., Germany's WissZeitVG limits pre-tenure fixed-term employment to 6 years post-PhD), which indirectly affects how long one can hold postdoc positions.
Postdocs are expected to conduct independent research, publish in high-impact journals, present at international conferences, and increasingly to apply for independent grants. Many postdocs also co-supervise PhD students and contribute to teaching, though the balance varies by institution and position.
