Workshop: Finding a Postdoc

Description: If you are at the stage in your graduate student career where you are beginning to ask questions such as “Do I need to do a postdoc?” “What kind of postdoc should I do?” or “What can I expect in a postdoc?” then this workshop is for you.  This workshop will explore the issues that graduate students need to consider if they plan to pursue a post doctoral position. Through a seminar presentation and panel breakout groups, students will gain information to help them throughout this critical decision making process. The presentation portion of the workshop will highlight questions that students should raise as they begin their postdoc search. After the presentation, we will transition to panel breakout discussions designed for graduate students to interact with current post doctoral fellows, and in some cases mentors, in the areas of academia, industry, and government. This workshop would be most beneficial to graduate students who are in their 3rd year or above.

Speakers: Sharon Milgram, PhD, NIH/GPP; Mark VanDoren, PhD, Johns Hopkins University; and panelists from academia, industry, and government.
