2004 Symposium on 
"Life After the Ph.D:  Finding a Postdoctoral Fellowship"

 (Sponsored by APS/ASPET Women in Physiology/Pharmacology Committees)

Organizers:
Carole M. Liedtke
Kathleen H. Berecek

This workshop is targeted to young scientists of both genders interested in learning skills for their future careers.  The workshop will present information for guiding young trainees on looking for and selecting a postdoctoral fellowship. One goal of the workshop is to define what a postdoc is and to identify various types of postdoctoral positions are available. The format of the workshop is to present four topics in 10-15 minute talks followed by a breakout session. The breakout session is planned to promote active participation of the audience and young scientists in best practices for each topic.  The workshop offers a venue for networking between junior and more senior scientists.
