Postnikov gave a combinatorial description of the cells in a
totally-nonnegative Grassmannian. These cells correspond to a special class of
matroids called positroid. We prove his conjecture that a positroid is exactly
an intersection of permuted Schubert matroids. This leads to a nice
combinatorial description of positroids that is easily computable.
