Career Resources: Keys to a Successful Career
Your permanent position
Now that you’ve gotten a permanent position, you have a new set of
concerns. You need to know how to attract graduate students, network more
effectively, and possibly deal with the stresses of having a family.
Developing your skills
There are many skills you will need to acquire to be successful in your
new position. These range from setting up a lab to hiring and training
technicians/postdocs to
utilizing technology in your classroom.
Career planning
At what point should you begin thinking about tenure or a promotion?
Have you chosen the right position for your career goals? Have you thought
about your future career?
Being Mentored and Mentoring
Having a mentor (not necessary your former postdoctoral advisor) whom
you trust for advice and counsel is very important at all stages of your
career. How do you find a mentor? What can/should you discuss with your
mentor?
Have you considered becoming a mentor, for either graduate students or
postdoctoral fellows? What does it take to be a good mentor?
Interacting With Professional
Societies
Should
you join a professional society? How do you get involved in the scientific
community to begin making a name for yourself?
