Career support groups
Finding a first job after a postdoc can be very daunting and is new territory for most of us. During a challenging time like this, it is vital to have a strong network for mutual support and feedback. Our goal is to foster a group for peer support in all stages of the job search and interview process.
We created two groups, one focused on academic jobs and the other one on industry jobs.
