  • Starts: 10:00 am on Friday, March 20, 2026
  • Ends: 11:00 am on Friday, March 20, 2026

This virtual panel brings together postdocs from around the world to speak candidly about the structural and personal complexities of postdoctoral life.

From navigating the “in-between” space of being neither student nor faculty to managing precarity, shifting expectations, institutional politics, mental health, and the job market, there is a hidden curriculum that incoming postdocs are expected to learn on the fly.

If you’re considering a postdoc — or are currently in one — this conversation is for you.
