S5E3: What is a postdoc and should I do one?

What this episode covers

One question Jess and Sara get a lot is whether doing a postdoc is a good idea. Here, we talk about what a postdoc is, how long it lasts, and what kinds of jobs a postdoc can take on. We also describe what we see as the advantages and disadvantages of the position. We talk a bit about our past times as post docs, and what kinds of things you can do when you are there, and what kinds of grants are available just for you if you decide to go for it. In this episode, we mention this nice resource for postdocs:https://www.niaid.nih.gov/grants-contracts/postdoc-guide Email us letters about developmental science at [email protected].
