Becoming a Postdoc: How to Choose the Right Mentor and Make the Most of Your Postdoctoral Training

Date TBD

The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is hosting a session for graduate students who are interested in pursuing a postdoctoral position. This session will focus on the critical aspects graduate students need to consider when selecting a postdoc position.

Choosing the right postdoctoral mentor is crucial for success, but this is not enough. Understanding the mentor’s responsibility for driving their career and professional development is also essential in finding the right postdoc position.

Participants in this session will learn:

  • Attributes needed in a postdoctoral advisor
  • What resources to look for
  • How to approach this training period to increase the chances of success
  • What are the postdoctoral scholar’s responsibilities and benefits
