Thinking About Doing a Postdoc?

• Do I want to do a postdoc?
• What can I do to help me decide?

Often doctoral researchers drift into Postdocs without appreciating how to choose the right one for them. This blended course aims to inspire a more focused approach, introducing opinions of postdocs and viewing example job descriptions, person specifications and application forms to help you get on the right track for you.

You will need to dedicate a total time of ~2 hours 45 minutes to complete this course, which includes ~30 minutes preparatory activities carried out via Blackboard. There is a lot of material to explore via the Course Notes and links on Blackboard after the live course, and optional follow ups are available.

This course is open to all Research Degree Students.
