Presented by Lynne Dahmen, Senior Proposal Coordinator, Office of Research and Partnerships, Purdue University

We will discuss concrete steps and actions that advanced graduate students and postdocs can take to prepare themselves to become \u2018research independent\u2019 and prepare for their first academic jobs. Topics include: ways to establish your research trajectory; what to consider when applying to positions; applying for grants, and how to think about research vs. teaching in your first job.
