Planning for the European PostDoc: Opportunities and Considerations

The final phase of any doctoral program invariably brings questions about the academic and research job market – and whether and how to seek a postdoc position as an employment goal. A recent international survey revealed ongoing anxieties about the postdoc experience but also optimism about a world that increasingly needs and depends on academic expertise.[1] In this seminar sponsored by the Royster Society of Fellows and the Center for European Studies, postdoc researchers, faculty, and staff share information about opportunities in Europe and considerations for planning a postdoc career in Europe and future career impacts.

Panelists include:

• Jessie Barton Hronešová, Ph.D., Marie Curie Fellow on Central and Southeast Europe (2021-23), UNC Center for European Studies; and Ca’ Foscari Venice (2023-24)
• Morgan English, J.D. (Teach @ Tübingen)
• Hannah Kiiver, Ph.D., EU Commission Fellow, UNC Center for European Studies (2021-22); Deputy Head, Labor Market Statistics Unit, Eurostat
• Priscilla Layne, Ph.D., Associate Professor of German; Adjunct Assistant Professor of African and Afro-American Studies
