Postdoc Webinar Series

As part of its ongoing efforts to provide resources and advice for students at various points on their career pathways, the Institute for Broadening Participation (IBP) and COSEE-OS have hosted three webinars targeting graduate and postdoctoral students interested in obtaining and being successful in a postdoc position. IBP Director Dr. Ashanti Johnson and IBP staff Chris Cash and Liv Detrick, present advice and tips for students looking to apply and secure postdoc positions. Each webinar also features short presentations and feedback from 1-3 guest panelists who hold relevant positions or have recently undergone similar processes and experiences.

Both webinars use a concept map as a guide and to house a collection of helpful resources. The latest version of the map (updated with resources from all of the webinars) is below.
