What is a postdoctoral scholar—and is it the next right step for you?
The term “postdoc” comes up often in academic circles, but what does the role actually involve? How do you know if it’s the right move for your career?
Join us for an interactive panel featuring current and former postdoctoral scholars as they share their experiences—why they chose this path, how they navigated the job search, and the ways a postdoc shaped their professional journey. Whether you’re curious about the day-to-day responsibilities, the benefits and challenges, or the long-term impact on career development, this session will give you an inside look at life as a postdoc and help you make informed decisions about your next steps.
This is an in-person event. A lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
This event is part of the GRADnavigate workshop series.
