Winning an F32, T32, or other postdoc fellowship should be a career milestone. But for many of us, it changes employment status, benefits, and support in unexpected ways. How common is this, and are some institutions doing it better? 🧵

If you’re a current or former fellowship-funded postdoc, I’d love your input through this ~5 min survey (responses can be anonymous): forms.gle/asKs1dcPm2FCeJCg8 I've gotten 15 responses so far, but I know we can do much better than that!

I'm trying to understand how common these experiences are across institutions and whether some universities have found better ways to support externally funded postdocs.

Receiving an external postdoctoral fellowship should be a major professional achievement. Yet through my own experience and conversations with others, I've learned that these transitions can sometimes create unexpected challenges: employment status, benefits, and support. 🧵

As of today I’ve officially been a postdoc for 2 years. The past 12 months have been an insane rollercoaster ride, but I’m hoping things are starting to settle down and I’m excited for what the future holds!

Lavender latte, sweet potato cinnamon roll from “Necessary and Sufficient” (what a great name for a coffee shop!) and B-cells. Last day of #AAI2024, feeling tired, but inspired.

As NSURP approaches 100 applications, we could always use more mentors. We are still looking for graduate trainees, postdocs, and PIs to mentor them. Research intensive, PUI, industry, we welcome all. Visit NSURP.org to apply (by April 1st!)
