On 13 November 2015, the EUA Council for Doctoral Education (EUA-CDE) is organising a focus group on the postdoctoral stage. The event is hosted by Aarhus University, Denmark.
The focus group will attempt to identify existing or potential good practices for using postdoc positions for the benefit of institutions and researchers alike, particularly in relation to changing career patterns of early stage researchers. Places will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. Priority will be given to EUA-CDE members, with a limit of one participant per institution.
The deadline for registration is 26 October 2015. There is no registration fee, but participants will have to cover their own travel and accommodation costs. To register for the event, please contact caroline.marissal@eua.be. More...

Once hired primarily by mid- and late-career professionals in the corporate world, coaches and career consultants these days are sometimes specializing in working with graduate students and academics.
