Hi all,
References are one of the important outcome for someone proceeding to apply for the postdoc research positions. I am almost there but I have no hopes of obtaining references from my PhD advisors. I also feel like being a useless man to go and ask for references from PhD advisors.

Can I hope to get any postdoc position without attaching any references on my application ?
I guess everyone knows that references are widely used means to judge a candidate and still they form a major source of corruption in recruitment process.
