    REGISTER NOW! The job of the postdoctoral fellow is, simply put, to get another job. Postdocs face significant challenges posed by the need to quickly learn a new field and formulate new hypotheses. As such, successfully navigating the postdoc-PI relationship is essential to the success and wellness of the postdoc. In this webinar, panelists will discuss ‘fit’ in a postdoc position, building a collaborative relationship between the postdoc and PI, and planning for the next career step. Learning objectives: At the conclusion of the webinar, you will gain insights from several different career stages and perspectives regarding: How to define, for yourself, the purpose of a postdoctoral position Different things to value or consider with respect to finding the right ‘fit’ for a postdoctoral lab Strategies to build a collaborative, mutually beneficial relationship between a postdoc and a PI Some examples for how one might navigate a difficult conversation between a postdoc and a PI
