STEM Education Postdoctoral Opportunities Summit

Greetings!

Are you a STEM education researcher looking to hire one or more postdocs? 

The STEM Education Postdoctoral Opportunities Summit (a.k.a. “the Summit”) will be a virtual event on Tuesday, November 19, from 5 - 7 pm Eastern. The goals of the Summit are to connect doctoral students and recent doctoral graduates with postdoctoral opportunities nationwide, to elevate emerging scholars, and to provide professional networking pathways for a diverse pool of applicants. Doctoral candidates or recent graduates interested in applying for STEM education postdoc positions will have the opportunity to present a "pitch" about themselves, their research, and their goals for pursuing a postdoctoral experience. STEM education researchers with open postdoc positions will present information about their program to recruit applicants. We currently have 17 postdoctoral positions lined up to be represented at the summit, across multiple STEM fields and contexts thus far.

For those with available postdoc positions, here’s what to do (by Thursday, November 14):

• If you plan on attending the Summit to recruit applicants for your postdoc position(s):
• Register your available position(s) here. (The link to the registration form is also on our website.)
• Create a slide about your position(s) in our Google slide deck using the template for available postdoc positions. (Please create one slide for multiple positions within a single program unless they are each in different areas or have different eligibility requirements.)
• Complete the information form with information about your program to be shared with potential applicants. While some of the information you entered is already on the registration form and slide, we’re asking for it again if you can’t attend the Summit.
• If you will not be at the Summit but want to recruit applicants for your postdoc position(s), please complete the information form with the information about your program. We will still share it with potential applicants after the Summit.  

The Summit is being organized by the Postdoctoral Research Opportunities and Mentoring for Inclusive STEM Education (PROMISE).
