Posted by Derek Zboran
Registration closes Friday, Dec. 4, for the sixth annual Chicagoland STEM Postdoc Readiness Initiative, a virtual event Friday, Dec. 11, hosted by Northwestern University, the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) and the University of Chicago (UChicago).
The event is open to all prospective postdocs and will be most useful for:
- Advanced Ph.D. students who have passed their qualifying exam or reached candidacy by Dec. 11
- Recent Ph.D. graduates who earned their doctorate within the past four to five years
- Early-career postdocs with no more than two to three years of postdoctoral experience
Sessions will cover how to search for a postdoc, negotiate an offer and make the most of the experience. They also include overviews of the postdoc programs at all three universities, “AI and Your Job Search” and an “Ask a Postdoc” panel discussion.
