Beschreibung
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.

Based on the personal experiences of the author, this book logically outlines the flow of the postdoc experience from beginning to end by providing actionable advice on how to get the most out of postdoctoral training while laying out strategies for choosing the right research environment to thrive along with planning, and executing, a successful postdoc tenure. Written for current and future postdocs, as well as their mentors, this book covers what they need know, and do, to strategically advance in their early research career.

Key Features:

Practical and actionable advice from an author that has experienced PhD and postdoc training, and is now directing a postdoc office at a world-renowned research institution

Methodical approach most readers can readily adapt for their own purposes

Specifically written for current and future STEM postdocs while being agnostic of the research field
