Given the transient and insecure nature of postdoctoral appointments, institutions and even state university systems are now working towards providing pathways for postdocs to become faculty at their fellowship institution (or one close by). Read more to learn about these programs and what you should be asking when considering them! https://lnkd.in/gKTR73w5 In this edition of National Postdoctoral Association's The POSTDOCket, Robin Cresiski and Dawn Culpepper, PhD share a wealth of resources for postdocs through their article with edits by Mitali Mishra, PhD.

The results of these latest grants from the ERC clearly illustrate that the programme is less accessible to applicants from countries with lower R&I intenstiy levels. Its is demonstrably evident that the current funding distribution is highly skewed towards more advanced Member States and a revision is necessary to promote inclusivity and excellence across all countries. The EU's next framework programme should introduce specific schemes for Widening countries, ensuring that researchers can participate fully and also benefit from this prestigious programme.

I’ve been running 3MT since 2018 for the University of Dundee. It’s a really tough competition. It sounds easy but feels and *is* really challenging. It’s not about fitting as much content as you can into 3 minutes. It’s actually about slowing down. It’s one of the best development opportunities for post-doctoral researchers to learn how to talk clearly and understandably about their PhD, their purpose and ‘why’ they are doing it. I love seeing how their confidence and approach develops and evolves. When I speak to them about the ‘why’ it’s often a challenge to get people to move beyond the reasoning given by their supervisor or the specific detail of their project but I ask why are they doing their PhD? Why did you decided to do one and why that topic or area? You can always tell when they are talking about the parts of their work that they feel most passionate about as their faces light up. That’s what the judges want to see. They want passionate presenters that present in a way they are comfortable with along with a talk that’s understandable and well structured. Easy, right? Good luck everyone! We are all cheering you on.

Dear Doctoral students, Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania) invites doctoral (PhD) students to participate in the 8th International PhD Summer School, that will take place on 3-7 June, 2024 in a seaside resort city Palanga, Lithuania. PhD Summer School focuses on development of key competences required for achieving best results in successful defense of the doctoral dissertation and identifying further research directions

PhD students at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School have different research interests and fields of expertise. 🧑🏫 To integrate its community, the School organizes seminars that aim to develop the ability to present and discuss a research project in English, its methodology and results, also among non-specialists. Interdisciplinary Integrative Seminar serves to explore methodologies relevant for interdisciplinary projects across a variety of disciplines and scientific fields. It shapes and develops competence in both the theory and methodology of interdisciplinary and interfield research, as well as the broader issues of meta-knowledge and meta-science. 📚 During the seminar debate, which is also attended by the supervisors 🎓 of the doctoral students presenting their projects, issues of scientific skills, comparison of research discourses, juxtaposition of diversity and analogy of apparatuses are of particular importance, within related and dissimilar disciplines and fields. 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dtd2b-kv
