Postdoctoral researchers might change employers frequently, move internationally, handle a high workload, have family and friendship commitments in various parts of the world, and are enveloped in a system of competition. And yet they continue to create and maintain communities that are interdisciplinary, mixed-gender, and span languages and backgrounds.
This webinar explores the benefits of community among (postdoctoral) researchers, from the perspective of an independent coach who works with researchers and a researcher developer who heads a university’s PostDoc Office.
We will start by outlining common challenges postdocs face, give examples for community activities that have been beneficial, describe their impact, and give practical examples for people seeking to facilitate community (be it postdocs themselves or researcher developers). We will focus on a programme we run together: the PostDoc Peer Mentoring.
This webinar will be lead by Dr. Yasmin Dolak-Struss and Dr. Johanna Stadlbauer
