If you’re aiming for a career in research, securing a postdoctoral research position may seem to be the logical next step to build on your doctorate. In some – though not all – fields of academic research, having postdoc experience is a requirement for higher-level jobs, though it still doesn’t guarantee future success in securing a permanent academic position. So, is postdoctoral research worth pursuing? • This talk provides an opportunity to pause and ask some important questions: How can a postdoc support my academic progression most effectively? What value is a postdoc for those considering working in sectors beyond academia? What do I need to have in place to ensure that the postdoc period is productive from a career perspective, as well as meeting the research aims? The session proposes strategies to help you think through the pros and cons of postdoctoral research to make an informed decision on whether to pursue this career pathway. • This video is a recording of the Oxford University Careers Service's 'Insight into Academia: Should I do a Postdoc?' session on 18 November 2022.
