[Neuropostdocs] Meeting wednesday night

[Christian Beaulé]

Good morning everyone,

Would it be convenient for most of you to meet this coming wednesday to 
discuss the "how to write a successful job application" special event?

Meeting at The Bread Company (706 S. Goodwin, Urbana), wednesday March 
16th, 7:00pm.

Let me know if you are able to make it.

Christian

> Hello everyone!
>
> Some of us have talked for a while already of organizing a special NSP 
> postdoc seminar on how to successfully write a job application.
>
> This seminar would be aimed at giving us postdocs "insider" tips on 
> how to make it in the real world (i.e. life after the postdoc).
>
> The format of the event would be a seminar where guests answers the 
> questions that we have regarding job applications in general. I was 
> thinking of having 5 guests giving the seminar: 2 junior faculty (one 
> neuroscience, one CSB) that were recently hired (and thus were 
> successful in writing a convincing job application), 2 senior faculty 
> (again, one neuroscience, one CSB) that were part of the search 
> committees, and one recruiter from the industry (for those who are not 
> interested by academia).
>
> I'm considering NSP and CSB faculty in an attempt to bridge as many 
> interests as possible.
>
> Now, I will not be doing this alone. I need to know if there is a 
> general interest for that kind of event. I will also need a list of 
> questions that you would like being answered by the invited guests.
>
> I believe that this spring (april-may) would be a great time since it 
> falls between major NIH grant application deadlines (if I recall 
> correctly).
