Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows spend upwards of 15 years honing their research skills. However, in all this training, compulsory career and professional development courses are far and few between. In the absence of a formal training curriculum, this co-curricular postdoc guidebook can be used as a manual for aspiring scientists to find career success.
Postdocs face many hurdles in their pursuit of research excellence and independence. None more frustrating than making the most of this challenging yet rewarding opportunity. Ultimately, the point of postdoc training is not maintaining a lengthy postdoc tenure but landing a satisfying job. Regardless of what they do in their career, postdocs need to gain and master many skills both directly related to their scientific training and beyond. This book posits that if trainees are motivated and given some practical guidance, they can build a professional reputation while achieving a successful postdoc experience.
