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 abroad.
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.
The workshop is most suitable for participants who plan to start their postdoctoral position in September 2024, however, it can be beneficial for anyone who wishes to have a deeper understanding of the postdoctoral submission process
Outcomes
- Enhanced ability to manage the postdoctoral submission project which includes scheduling and follow-up.
