A post-doc’s expectations in transitioning from academia to industry
J. E. BOCK (1). (1) University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada
Post-doctoral fellows are a unique category of potential hires for employers. They often develop strong analytical skills and expertise along with managerial and administrative experience during their fellowship, but may be passed over in the job selection process for new graduates or those with more industry or academic experience. This can leave post-doctoral fellows languishing in the gap that exists between their own expectations and those of employers. This presentation will provide an overview of what post-doctoral fellows expect and subsequently encounter in the job search, interview process, initial offer and negotiations, and on-boarding after hire. Key insights will be given to help post-doctoral fellows develop a more competitive presence in the job market, while potential employers will be given tips for how to spot and recruit top post-doctoral talent. Additional discussion will follow with the audience and panel speakers.
