The Postdoc Plight: Navigating Uncertainty and Opportunity
Date: Wednesday, July 23, 2025
Time: 12 pm ET
Webinar Description: The postdoctoral fellowship is a period of time in which the next generation of behavioral scientists can expand, deepen, or increase the breadth of one’s skills and become more competitive for the job market. However, with the ever-increasing competitiveness of federal funding lines and the job market, the postdoctoral period can be one of great pressure combined with questions that emerge about professional identity and career trajectory.
Learning Objectives:
-
Discuss ways to discern postdoc fit and strategies during the application process with an eye toward career next steps.
-
Discuss strategies for pivoting, expanding, or transforming your line of research in the postdoc process.
-
Describe concrete ways that the postdoctoral period can propel a trainee forward in their career.
