Pursuing an Academic Postdoc in a Shifting Landscape (Academic Job Search Series)

Navigating today’s academic job market can be challenging, especially as global and institutional landscapes continue to evolve. This session will provide practical guidance on preparing for the transition from graduate school or an initial postdoctoral position to your next career stage. Learn how to evaluate whether pursuing additional postdoctoral training aligns with your goals, explore strategies for identifying and applying to positions, and gain insights into what makes a strong postdoc candidate. The session will also include specific information about postdoctoral opportunities at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.

The Academic Job Search Series is a monthly event series that prepares GSAS students and postdocs across all five academic divisions for the academic job market. Each session focuses on a critical aspect of the faculty job search, offering practical strategies, expert guidance, and insights to help students navigate the process and build successful academic careers. 

Promotional support for this event is provided by the Yale Alumni Association (YAA). Also: we urge you to seek mentors on Yale’s online community-building platform: Cross Campus.
