This study aims to develop a theoretical perspective on postdoctoral experiences as professional socialization, and to empirically analyze whether postdoctoral experiences are associated with professional socialization such as deepened knowledge and skills, sense of belonging and academic identity. For this study, we used the data of the Academic Profession in the Knowledge Society (APIKS) survey. The results show that postdoctoral experiences are associated with research performance, their identity as a researcher, and their sense of belonging to their academic discipline; however, postdoctoral training is not associated with their sense of belonging to their affiliated institution. These findings imply that professional socialization during postdoctoral training is closely related to academic identity and their disciplinary affiliation as well as scholarly performance. This study proposes to develop and redesign doctoral education and postdoctoral training in the continuous process of academic and professional socialization.
