A post-doc is someone with the terminal degree (typically the PhD) who is studying and performing research temporarily in a research environment to obtain additional credentials necessary for a permanent job. Typically a post-doc should be within eight years of receiving his or her degree (should not be considered a tenure-track faculty) and would be earning less than $60,000 annually.
