Description: Talk overview: Once you have decided to do a postdoc, you need to create a game plan to find it! In this session, you will learn how to create a plan that leads you to your ideal postdoc: one that is aligned with your compass (needs, preferences, and values; from Session 1) and is customized to make you competitive and qualified to achieve your ultimate career goal. This session is part of the ‘The Strategic Postdoc’ course, created by the NIH-funded Yale Ciencia Academy in collaboration with iBiology.
