Description: Talk Overview: Leaving isn’t easy. As you prepare to complete your PhD, crossing the finish line may be more complicated than you anticipated. The two big questions are: When should I leave? and How should I leave? In this session, you will learn how to create a good exit strategy; identify and navigate role conflicts with your research mentor or principal investigator; and negotiate and apply effective strategies to transition smoothly from your PhD into your postdoc. This session is part of the ‘The Strategic Postdoc’ course, created by the NIH-funded Yale Ciencia Academy in collaboration with iBiology.
