Making the Transition from PhD Student to DBER Postdoc

Making the Transition from PhD Student to DBER Postdoc

Thursday, March 7, 2:00-4:00 pm PT/ 5:00-7:00 pm ET

The goal of the event is to discuss two kinds of transitions: (a) from PhD student to postdoc and (b) from bench work to discipline-based education research (DBER). We’ve designed the event to be accessible to all, regardless of prior experience in DBER. 

The 1st hour of the event will consist of a panel discussion with faculty members who work with DBER postdocs and/or have themselves made the transition from bench work to DBER. In the 2nd hour, we will facilitate small group discussions with current DBER postdocs.

If you are a current DBER postdoc and would be willing to volunteer an hour of your time on Thursday March 7 3:00-4:00 pm PT/6:00-7:00 pm ET, please fill out this form <https://forms.gle/FdzBg2rNkLVzAiwm8>. No preparation is required for the event; you will be in breakout rooms with at least one other fellow postdoc, and each breakout room will have a general conversation topic (previous topics have included ‘starting out in DBER’, ‘being an international postdoc’, and ‘finding funding’)

Additional details to come.
