Designing Your Postdoc

In this session, you'll have an opportunity to apply design thinking to your postdoctoral training and reflect on who you are, where you are going, and how you can get there.

You'll identify resources and plan to apply them to your training in the right place at the right time. The work we do together will support a thoughtful and balanced individual development plan.

Academic Chats: The "Dark Search Phase" of Your Academic Job Search

There are several times during your postdoc when you are not yet ready to explicitly apply for an academic position but when you can still make yourself know to potential colleges and universities without explicitly. This is known as the "dark search phase" of your exploration, and we will discuss how to manage it in the most effective and efficient way.

Guest Speakers: Dr. Sofie Kleppner, Associate Dean, Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and Dr. Tanya Evan, Assistant Professor, Curry School of Education, University of Virginia
