Hey, not sure if this is the right thread or not, and sorry for the moan, but here goes...

Basically I have been a postdoc for 9 months now since finishing my PhD in a completely new place where I didn't know anyone before moving (so feeling pretty homesick as well). I feel like I am still a PhD student in the way that I don't think that many people take me seriously. I know I need to be more assertive, but it is starting to really get to me now and I am trying to be more assertive. It's just so frustrating when colleagues did respect me/listened to my advice during my PhD, but now I am a postdoc I feel like I'm back to square 1.

Does anyone have any experience of this or any advice on the transition between PhD and postdoc? I feel like there is no support offered on what's expected of me in my current role.
