Synopsis
In this workshop, we will work on increasing participants’ familiarity with the process of applying for postdoctoral positions, as a means to optimize the chances of being accepted to desired positions. During three consecutive sessions, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the postdoctoral submission process, and facilitate discussions on matters such as practical preparations and other considerations that are integral to applying for a postdoctoral position. The workshop is not purely informative. It requires active participation during and after the sessions to ensure the participants’ actual progress in the postdoctoral submission process.
Requirements: The workshop is most suitable for participants that plan to start their postdoctoral position in September 2025, however, it can be beneficial for anyone who wishes to have a deeper understanding of the postdoctoral submission process as well.
Outcomes
- Ability to manage the postdoctoral submission project which includes scheduling and
follow-up. - Skills in writing outstanding emails and applications to potential advisors.

proposal, and tips of how to write a strong one.
