• HRA Workshop on “Navigating the Postdoc Sandwich Position”, 18/09/2025, 2-4:30 PM
  Postdocs often find themselves in a unique in-between role—managing expectations from their supervisors while also guiding PhD or Master's students. This interactive workshop helps you navigate that "sandwich" position with confidence. We begin by exploring how to lead and support junior researchers with different personalities and needs. Next, we turn to the art of upward leadership: how to influence and communicate effectively with your professor. Through personal reflection, practical exercises, and peer discussion, we’ll also tackle how to balance your own research with mentoring others and manage expectations on both sides. More information and registration.
