"Lunch & Learn" series helps postdoctoral fellows choose the right career

The Fall "Lunch & Learn" series for ASU postdoctoral fellows kicked off August 20 with “Choosing the Right Academic Career.”

Professor Brad Allenby shared his experience navigating a difficult career path; from lawyer to corporate environmental engineer, and now, academic researcher while professor Joni Adamson shared her unique perspective as someone working in the humanities.

This Zoom workshop was the first in a series on how to apply for academic jobs. The sessions are being offered to all ASU postdocs for the second year in a row. The series will continue through October and will share insights on several aspects of applying for academic jobs. The full list of workshops is posted on the Postdoctoral Affairs News and Events page.

Coming up:

A double-header of workshops on Wednesday, September 9 and Thursday, September 10 will discuss curriculum vitaes and research statements. Sign up today!

Most sessions occur on Thursdays at noon, but recordings of the workshops are available on the Postdoc website under Resources. Videos are usually uploaded a few hours after each session concludes.

For questions, suggestions, or if you have talents to share and would like to lead a workshop, please email Wiley Larsen at the Postdoctoral Affairs Office
