Postdoc Pathways: Tips, Tricks, and Tough Truths

Sunway University hosted an insightful session titled “So, You’re Thinking About a Postdoc? Tips, Tricks, and Tough Truths,” featuring Dr Danni Collingridge Moore, the DCEPT Sir Robert Boyd Fellow.

 

 

This engaging session offered PhD students and early career researchers a candid look into the realities of pursuing postdoctoral opportunities. Dr Danni shared valuable insights on:

  • Choosing the right fellowship based on one’s goals and career stage
  • What makes an application stand out and common mistakes to avoid
  • Turning rejections and critical feedback into motivation and growth

Participants walked away with practical strategies, honest advice, and a renewed sense of clarity about life after the PhD.

 

 

This event was organised by the School of Psychology, Sunway University, in collaboration with Lancaster University, and supported by the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation.
