NGI sponsors Postdoc Retreat
18 Jan 2010
The Postdoc Career Development Initiative (PCDI) supports postdocs and
final year PhD students at career orientation and realising young researchers' potential.
On 21-23 April 2010, PCDI's best known event, the annual Postdoc Retreat, will be held for the 4th time. This three-day event is dedicated to career development: identifying your skills and talents, improving your transferable skills, orientation of career paths in Life Sciences, both within and outside academia and focussing on the future. The programme includes keynote lectures, training sessions, workshops and meet & greets with potential employers.
The Postdoc Retreat is a career development event unique in the Netherlands. Because it is exclusively open to postdocs and final year PhD students in Life Sciences, you can expect activities tailored to be immediately relevant to your career stage. It has been attended by over 300 early career scientists, including researchers from abroad!
The Netherlands Genomics Initiative aims to actively encourage its young researchers to participate: 1000 euro per person has been made available for NGI funded researchers to cover a great share of the 1200 euro registration fee. SoFoKles will finance the remaining 200 euro upon demonstration of a dialogue with the P.I./supervisor about career development i.e. handing in this completed form. Send a scan of the completed and signed registration form to info@removethis.pcdi.nl, cc to donselaar@removethis.genomics.nl.
Attention! NGI will fund 25 NGI-funded postdocs/final year PhD students to register for Postdoc Retreat 2009 on a first come, first served basis!
