2015 AGU Fall Meeting

December 14 - 18, 2015

Specifically targeted toward those in or interested in postdoc appointments, this workshop will focus on the current and expanding crisis in the job and career market for scientists. We will investigate how early career scientists and engineers can best prepare for this challenge, specifically when preparing for a postdoc and in the postdoc appointment itself. We will demonstrate how to orchestrate a personal career plan and develop a Plan B and Plan C for contingencies. We will discuss what early career scientists and engineers should do now to enhance their CVs and research reputations, and what they should look for in, and how they can leverage, their postdoc appointment to set themselves up for success in the field.
