APPLYING FOR POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS. WRITING YOUR FIRST RESEARCH PROPOSAL

Date

24 April 2018,
11.00-12.30h

Registration

No fee.
Registering required.

Location

Aula IMUB, IMUB, University of Barcelona

During this seminar, we will start by reviewing the academic career path from your PhD thesis until tenure, and what being a “postdoc” actually means. The session will provide you with tips on how to apply successfully to open positions, which usually implies preparing an academic CV, motivation letters, and most importantly, devising a full research project perhaps for the first time. We will analyze examples of job offers and applications, to identify do’s and don’ts and will learn some basic concepts, vocabulary and techniques to write successful proposals.

Interested participants can follow with a hands-on practice (to be handed out in 1 month and to be corrected and discussed in a one-to-one session).

The course is addressed to BGSMath PhD students, and to other Mathematics PhD students from Barcelona.
If you have any question, please contact secretariat@bgsmath.cat.

NOTE: This seminar was originally intended as part of the “Career management” Training Session on 18th January.
