This event is held by the National Postdoctoral Association (NPA).
Under normal times, many postdocs struggle with honing their own professional identities and identifying career paths right for them. In the current times, these challenges are magnified by the multitude of uncertainties in the scientific and higher education landscape. This webinar will introduce frameworks from the literature related to professional identity formation, self-efficacy, and career resiliency, and tie these to strategies for training programs and mentors to better support postdocs in their career planning and use of individual development plans. The webinar will include practical examples of evidence-based approaches being used in educational models that are part of the NIH-funded Professional Development Hub pd|hub Collection: Foundations of Career Exploration for PhD Scientists.
This event counts toward the Postdoctoral Professional Development Certificate (*CP)
