"A Foot in the Door: From PhD to Post-Doc"
On Wednesday, Paul gave a talk to PhD students on postdoctoral life.
Here's the abstract:
All graduate students are warmly invited to an informal conversation with Dr Paul Michael Kurtz, a Marie Curie Fellow in the Faculty of Divinity and a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queens' College, about the (mysterious) life beyond the PhD, hosted by the Miqra Society. As well as discussing his current research project, Paul will share his wisdom for early-career academics by talking about his experiences as a doctoral and now postdoctoral researcher. He will be speaking about the ins and outs of the journey towards a post-doc, from initial inklings of ideas to fully fledged applications, and also drilling down into the many varied dimensions of the post-doc life, such as publications and changes in responsibilities. There will be plenty of time for interactive discussion, so make sure to bring lots of questions. After the seminar, we will be heading to the Granta to continue our conversations there.
