Postdoc Career Programme

The seminar series is aimed at Postdocs who want to find out about making the transition from Postdoc to independent team leader.

Juniors and more experienced group leaders will share their experience with you.    

BRIC Alumni Association provides a community for BRIC alumni and current staff to expand their network, gain career advice, and professional development.

It's not always easy to figure out the next step in your career when you always thought you will run your own lab in the future.

Thanks to our alumni, you will be able to learn about different career path and how the transition from BRIC to outside academia could be.

Career seminars are organized several times per year.

BRIC is involved in teaching undergraduate courses and you have the opportunity to develop your teaching skills.

Peer Mentoring aims to foster a supportive community where postdocs can share experiences between eachother, offer guidance, and develop professionally.

What is Peer Mentoring?

Peer mentoring involves a mutually beneficial relationship where individuals at similar stages in their careers support each other. Unlike traditional mentoring, which typically involves a senior mentor guiding a junior mentee, peer mentoring allows for a more collaborative and reciprocal exchange of knowledge and skills.

This approach can help address common challenges, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build a strong network of professional relationships.

Peer mentoring at BRIC has been running successfully in the last years and we aim to continue regularly starting new groups.

Those who sign up will be assigned into groups of 5-7 people. As much as possible, we will try to match you according to your career stage and mix you outside of your usual working group. You will all receive an introduction to get an idea of how this works and then it's up to the group what is discussed.

Once we have enough postdocs to form a group, we will contact you for an introduction session. You will be able to decide whether to commit to a Peer Mentoring group after the introduction session.
