If you are a postdoc considering your future, this workshop has been designed to help you. Developing Scientific Leadership is a workshop that will assist you in clarifying, articulating and achieving immediate and long-term career goals in either the academic or private sectors. These meetings will help you broaden your career opportunities and are relevant whether you are focused on achieving Principal Investigator status within a university or moving into the government, business or non-profit sectors. The workshop is supported by the Center for Particle Astrophysics, the UC Berkeley Graduate Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Center for Adaptive Optics at UC Santa Cruz, and the National Science Foundation. Don't delay your enrollment.
Space is limited.
First consideration will be given to postdocs in physics and astronomy, but participants from other disciplines are welcome and there are spaces available. The course content is valuable to scientists in general and is not discipline specific. The scientific postdoctoral community has expanded remarkably both in size and significance over the past 30 years. With this evolution the role of the postdoc has become key in the scientific endeavor. Throughout the postdoctoral years, the primary focus is on research and developing a convincing scientific track record.
