Faculty Perspectives: "A survivor's thoughts on transitioning from postdoc to faculty"

Target Audience: Everyone who would like to learn how to be a successful research academic

Session Format: Informal Q&A

What will be discussed:

Message form Dr. Neiman: 

"A postdoc, at least in my field, is the best job in the world. The only problem is that it's temporary. We are thus torn between enjoying the present vs. spending time on the desperate gamble of applying for a faculty position.  

Moreover, the gamble cannot be made half-heartedly: for most people, success requires substantial investment in mastering the higher arts of scientific communication.

I will offer some thoughts and anecdotes on these issues, from the point of view of someone who survived the process, but only barely."
