Journeyman sounds very much like a postdoc. (the traditional costumes are rare, but I've seen a few journeymen all togged out* for going "auf der Walz" over the last couple of decades)

Universities began as medieval guilds (Latin universitas = guild corporate body) around cathedral schools, composed of teachers (in the northern cathedral schools) or students (in Italy). The university’s grant of a masters degree would allow you to perform as a teacher (Latin magister) in any other cathedral school.

"auf der Walz" auf Englisch?

"on tour"?
