Some institutions organize recruitment events specifically for postdoc positions. Reoccurring events include:
Chicagoland STEM Postdoc Readiness Initiative
This is a collaborative initiative among the three largest research universities in the Chicago area (UChicago, UIC, and Northwestern University). Our goals are to explain the postdoctoral recruitment and hiring process and empower prospective postdocs to make career decisions that reflect their individual goals and needs. This annual virtual event is open to all but is most useful for advanced STEM PhD students (i.e. those who have passed their qualifying exam or are post-candidacy by the time the event takes place), recent PhD graduates (i.e. those who have received their doctoral degree within the past 4-5 years), and early-career postdoctoral scholars (i.e. those who have no more than 2-3 years of postdoctoral experience).
Free online event for current graduate students and prospective postdocs to learn about opportunities at MSU and to meet with faculty and current postdocs as they plan their next steps in their careers. Registrants are able to apply to present their own work in short talks as well as explore the work of colleagues and network.
