From POSTDOC to RESEARCH FACULTY Crash Course - Module 1: Getting the Job IN-PERSON Networking Event

Workshop Overview:

To close the Postdoc to Research Faculty Crash Course, the participating sites are excited to offer an in-person networking event! Postdoctoral fellows (PDFs) from across Toronto are invited to connect and explore research faculty career options by meeting recently hired faculty. This in-person event will include a panel session and Q & A with accomplished PDF alumni with careers in academia, followed by round-table networking sessions where PDFs will be able to select 3 different research faculty to network with and learn from!
