Certainly anybody who has hired for a post-doc position has seen the schedule slip. Industry may be a little less understanding. Put, as StrongBad says, keep in close touch. | |

I've seen it happen in postdoc researcher situations as well. Whether that would be an option in the jobs you're going for is another matter. | |
