ANDP
Forum: Skills and Strategies for Getting the Job You Want
San Diego Convention Center
Room 22
Monday, October 25, 2004
11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
When the postdoctoral fellowship is ending
and the job search is beginning, what will
employers look for on your CV? What
should you do to prepare for the interview,
and when it arrives, what can you expect?
How should you negotiate for salary, space,
and start-up money? After you get the job
offer, what can you do to get started quickly?
What pitfalls should you avoid?
These and other important
questions were answered at 2004 ANDP Forum. The
Association of Neuroscience Departments
and Programs invited students, postdoctoral
fellows, recently hired faculty, and more
senior scientists to discuss these and related
issues to illuminate and smooth the transition
to research independence.
Presentations of what search committees
look for and what applicants should do to
get and keep the job they want was followed by a panel discussion led by
postdoctoral fellows and recent hires.
Audience participation was encouraged and resulted in a lively discussion.
