Postdoc Forum

Postdoc Forum II: Postdocs Between Roles: Navigating Responsibility, Communication and Expectations

Postdocs often find themselves supporting others long before they lead a team of their own. They mentor junior colleagues, supervise students, communicate with administration and research partners, and at the same time navigate their role as members of someone else’s group. This Postdoc Forum meeting will open space for sharing these everyday challenges, reflecting on different expectations and responsibilities, and offering practical tips on how to handle them with more confidence.

PostDoc Forum I: Strategic Career Thinking – Thinking About Your Career Before Planning It

Postdoctoral researchers are often expected to plan their next career step – but effective planning starts with reflection. This workshop guides participants through evaluating their strengths, values, and goals, identifying areas for growth, and exploring practical paths forward. Through a mix of short inputs and interactive activities, it offers space for focused reflection, peer exchange, and informed career decision-making.
